I am a wife and a mother of 6 awesome kids. Their ages are 22, 18, 14, 14, 12 and 9. I have a degree in business accounting. But I have chosen to stay home with my kids. I home-school the ones who are still living at home. It pays too. My 18 year old son had 37 college credits before he finished high school...at the age of 17. All of my home-schooled kids score way above the national average on standardized testing.
My family may be expanding soon. My husband and I have an approved home-study for the domestic adoption of an infant. Our hearts are open for whoever God places in our family. We hope we can make a difference for a birth-mother who chose life for her baby.
I am also a Catholic catechist. I have taught religious education at every level from grade school to adults. Right now, I teach 4th grade R.E. and I love it.

How Much Authority Do You Have Over Your Children?

Picture this. Your 12 year old daughter goes on an over night field trip with her history class. You're pretty confident that she is in the hotel room with a few of her female classmates eating popcorn and honoring a strictly enforced curfew. But in the morning, you get a phone call from a hospital explaining the treatment your daughter received after being involved in a drunk driving accident. Your daughter is in a coma, not from her injuries, but from an allergic reaction to an anesthetic. As t...
