Have y’all seen this cool meme that just started at the HSBA? It’s called Homeschool Memoirs, and there are weekly topics. This week’s is called “All About You” and it’s just that, an introduction.
Here’s the summary: “This week, we want to hear about YOU. The author behind the words. The Momma behind all the homeschooling kiddos. Just write up something about you, your family, and your home. How long you’ve been homeschooling and why you decided to homeschool. It doesn’t have to be anything lengthy at all, but we’d love to hear it! You might include a family photo too!”
Here goes:
We have homeschooled our 8 children since 1993 which means this will be our 16th year. Their ages range from 3 to 22. We have a 22yos, 17yos, 13yos, 11yod, 8yod, almost-7yos, almost-5yod, and 3yod.
I love the mountains! My favorite vacation spots are Pigeon Forge, TN, and Eureka Springs, AR.
I am an avid photographer and bought a Nikon D80 earlier this year with money I raised from web design, which is my other major hobby. I live in Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and more recently, Lightroom.
I will attend Photoshop World in 2 weeks which is a dream come true!
I own 3 blogs and write for a 4th:
- this one, obviously
- Barefoot Blog Designs
- photoblog
- Homeschool Blog Awards
I am addicted to sweet tea and gummy bears. I don’t drink coffee.
I was a Russian major in college.
My toes are a work of art in the summer. Seriously.
You can read more about me here, here, and here.
Here is my family:
Thanks for visiting!
I’m so glad I came over and got to see the family pic! What a great looking family.
