I'm a work-at-home, homeschooling mom to one creative daughter. I've taken her from kindergarten into the high school years where we are now. Every day is a chance to learn and grow -- for her and for me. Homeschooling is a great excuse to read books I never got to read and take excursions that I can label "field trips."
I love to cook from scratch with real foods. I am hooked on coffee and lip balm. Periodically I go through crafty spells where I sew up a storm, mostly from repurposed, thrift store finds.
I blog about homeschooling at Jimmie's Collage and about notebooking at The Notebooking Fairy. My social media marketing business is iHomeschool Network. We specialize in connecting family friendly products with the homeschool audience.
