As a Homeschooler, Do YOU have Snow Days?
December 8, 2009 by 1 Comment
I ask this question, as I hear many different thoughts on this. I never have actually said much to anyone, but I know when I was in public school, it was always exciting to see if we had school or not. In many ways, I don’t want to take that away from my children, so […]

mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
