About Me:

 Hi friends, 

I'm K. Wife to my amazing hubby & a home-school veteran who has been homeschooling my 2 kiddos for the past 6 1/2 years. I love the incredible memories that I am able to create with my kiddos each year and all the special moments we share every day while we learn and grow together. The past 6 years has taught me to slow down and savor each moment, to really relish each and every opportunity and take the time to appreciate the season I'm in and not try to hurry through it even if it may be difficult. Life has taught me that in those difficult seasons that is where I learn and grow the most because there are so many lessons to learn and glean from so its best to embrace it with a smile. 

One of our favorite things as a family is to include travel or exploring nature into our school year as much as possible because we all love to travel, hike, getting out into nature & exploring new places. Some of our best learning moments have happened while we were out exploring. It allows for all of our senses to be alert and for us to become more in tune with nature. We love discovering new places, hidden gems and places off the beaten path. It is so thrilling for us to discover a new favorite place and to make special memories there as a family. 

I also love to decorate, craft and do diy projects so you may see some of those floating around on here from time to time (perhaps it will be one of our school projects 😉).  You may also see info about organizing, planning and putting together events as I have become the decorator/planner for multiple events over the past few years and it is something that I love to do 😍😊

Thanks for joining me here, I'm so glad that you're along for the journey! I look forward to getting to know each other better and I'd love to read your comments so please message away with your thoughts, comments and questions!

Our journey to homeschooling, part I

  Our journey to homeschooling: I've always heard that a journey begins with a single step, well for me it was more like a giant leap of faith... Where to begin... it’s a bit of a long story; so we should start at the beginning. A little back history: My children and I are survivors of domestic violence, so our story and what led us to homeschooling is very different from most families. Initially I hadn’t thought too much about homeschooling mainly because I was married at 20, had my daughter at 22, my son before I was 27 and had been very focused on my babies. Unfortunately life at home was not peaceful for the kids and I. It was chalk full of chaos, turmoil, tension, stress, abuse and life living with an addict. My children's bio-logical father chose his addictions to alcohol and meth over his family which left me in a lurch just trying to survive and keeping the kids safe. It was a nightmare and I am truly so thankful that God helped me escape from a life of domestic abuse, ...
