About Our Family and Homeschool

This is a blog about our homeschool journey. Our homeschool incorporated a lot of imaginative learning: talking stuffed animals, pretend play, and general "make believe." Along the way we've also dealt with challenges in reading, memory, and attention...and I share my tips and tricks for tackling those.

Our journey took us from homeschooling, back to in person school and afterschooling, then homeschooling again due to covid, and back to public school once more (my oldest two have now both graduated from high school...that went so fast).

I now work as a tutor and nanny for kids of various ages, so I have lots of great ideas still to share!
