Our Family - About Us

When my oldest child was very young, a friend of mine told me that they were looking into homeschooling. After she explained the concept to me I thought it sounded like a great idea.

I had an OK experience with public school, but was very shy and didn't really thrive in the public school environment. I meet lots of kids that wish their parents would homeschool them. I think I would have really enjoyed homeschooling. I'm glad I can provide this experience for my children. Sure they mention going to public school once in a while, but they enjoy learning at their own pace in their own time.

We live in a small town and enjoy the small town atmosphere. We enjoy visiting the big city though. We just wouldn't want to live there. We enjoy gardening and swimming in our pool in the summer. In the winter, my husband is a coach, so we follow and support his team as much as we can.

When people ask me what I use for homeschooling, I just tell them I use what I want to use for each individual child. There are so many great resources out there that I don't like to be confined to one curriculum. That's the beauty of homeschooling after all.

This website is dedicated to helping other homeschoolers enjoy homeschooling to the fullest. For those starting out I want to help guide them through the maze of choices. And for the homeschooler that is a little (or a lot) burned out, I want to give them some fresh ideas and content to be able to continue homeschooling and enjoy it!

I have 3 girls and a boy shown here: That's why I do this, after all. They are 4 wonders that God has entrusted to us for a time and I intend to provide the best environment I can give them to help them grow into well-adjusted, responsible adults.

Feel free to email me with any questions you may have.
