I'm a mother of four,and newly engaged.

I have been homeschooling my children from the start,
but recently decided to become un-schoolers from the heart.

I was born and raised with the heart of a gypsy. Since my first daughter was born, we've lived in Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, back to Michigan, Pennsylvania, and now back to Michigan again.

I recently began college for the first time in my life. I'm excited to begin this next tour on my journey.

I am a firm believer in Christ and His ability to heal and redeem, as I have had many opportunities to witness this power in action.

I love to read and write, play with my kids, and enjoy museums.

I hate schedules, organizing, time restraints, cleaning, and anything that restricts my creativity.

My passion is ...

my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, and education

I know too much about ...

a hard life

Why I write ...

to download the thoughts clogging my brain

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

College textbooks, Charles Swindoll's "Parenting: From Stirving to Thriving"

My first job ...

babysitting overnight

My best moment ...

the births of my children & earning my first college credits

My inspiration ...

My Lord, my children, my life
