About
Our story
Kris Cox enjoyed homeschooling her four children so much that when her own homeschooling years were finished in 2011, she created Kris M. Cox Educational Services to continue providing consultation and support for other homeschoolers. In 2013, she began speaking for homeschool groups. In 2014 she spoke at her first MACHE convention. More speaking opportunities came, and she began traveling around Minnesota conducting workshops and speaking at conventions. During these years Kris provided one-on-one consultations with families, hosted a support group for new homeschoolers, and wrote the Homeschool Life All-in-One Planner and the Homeschooling with Confidence Guidebook. Kris and her good friend Kris Hage together wrote what is now the Growing the Fruit of the Spirit Unit Study.
In 2021 Kris began praying for someone to come alongside her in this work. To smooth the path for another leader, Kris M. Cox Educational Services became Homeschooling with Confidence, LLC in 2022. The following year, God led Trisha Pull to join Kris, and Trisha began speaking for various homeschool groups and at the MACHE convention in 2024. In July of 2024, Trisha became the formal owner and manager of Homeschooling with Confidence, LLC. She strives to preserve and enhance the rich legacy homeschool support and encouragement so lovingly built by Kris.
