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.

New Pets and Plants

My daughter has a small zoo going here. She is always catching something in the garden and bringing it inside. These are our permanent guests(not from the yard):

Hermit crabs, fiddler crabs, and a betta. It's been fun learning together about their habitats and how to care for them.

Two weeks ago, I got a good number of Cast Iron plant roots from a seller on ebay. One is beginning to leaf out, the rest are still dormant. Once these grow, I plan to distribute them in our rooms to improve air quality. The Cast Iron plant does exceptionally well in low light conditions and is easy to maintain. I can't lose with these if they grow. Grow, grow, grow!
