About Me

My photo
Welcome to my Blog! I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. I am married to a wonderful man who supports me in all that I do - and all that I am passionate about. We have four children - the oldest two boys are in college and we are homeschooling our younger two, a boy age 9 and a girl age 5. I have always been interested in alternatives to traditional education and am so thrilled to be homeschooling my children. When not homeschooling, I love to knit and read as well as listen to country music (XM 59!). I am also a social worker and work part time for an excellent home care agency in pediatrics, maternal -child health and both adult and pediatric hospice. It is extremely rewarding work. I look forward to sharing our journey with you.

It's a New Year ... Time to Start a Blog!

Welcome to my new blog!  I have been thinking for some time about starting a blog.  I love to write, and have kept journals since the age of 8.  I love the aspect of documenting all that we do, all that we learn, and all that we want to know.  Homeschooling two children has many exciting moments - many challenging times - and many happy smiles from us all.  But I also know that homeschooling cannot occur in a vacuum and needs the support of a community - or at least I do!  I love learning from others and I love to teach as well.  It always feels so good to know that I am not alone out here in our little world!

While not homeschooling, I LOVE to knit!  I always have several projects going on at once - and I love to see what others are knitting.  I look forward to sharing here with you about great projects - for us as adults and for our kids.  I love crafting with my kids, and they love it too.

Also, I make time everyday to read.  I read on my Kindle on my phone.  I never thought I could actually give up paper books, but now I have the ability to read faster and go through books so much more.  I will be listing whatever is new on my Kindle so we can share reading ideas as well.

And ... then there's the country music ... well - I just love it!  I am always singing to the newest country music songs and have either Pandora, I-Tunes or XM59 The Highway playing!

Looking forward to the journey with you all!
hugs,
Susan
