About Me

My Photo
A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Oh thank you!

My darlings and I usually make a store bought gingerbread house kit from the store.

This year we are doing it the oldfashioned way. We'll start with the Gingerbread men.
