About Me

 I am a homeschooling mom of 5  (Jacob 21, Joshua 19, Deanna 18 , Cailey 10, and Colin 7 ). We have been homeschooling since January 2007!! I love it so much!! I wish we had always homeschooled!! 

I am a DIY eclectic homeschooler. I like to make my own units and share them with you! Nothing like the freedom of doing things your own way and letting the kids help make the decisions about their education.

I started sewing in March of 2012 after receiving my first sewing machine for my Birthday! It is such a creative outlet and stress reliever for me. 

I love making my own patterns and figuring out new ways to do things. 

I read all different genres but non-fiction is my least favorite.  I have a HUGE personal library (like over 2000 titles). Actually, I am trying to thin out my collection a bit. All that moving has nearly done me in!! Let's hear it for ebooks!!

I love to sew and read. Books and fabric are my 2 biggest vices!! 

I was born in WV but I have lived in 6 different states. I went to 11 different schools from K to 12. That doesn't count moving back and forth between the same schools. I can’t count the number of times I have moved! No, not military, maybe just a bit of a gypsy. 

I LOVE old movies. Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Doris Day, Ginger Rogers. And all those classic screwball comedies!!!

I love all genres of music. Seriously! I love opera, classical, rock, country, rap, pop. You name it and I will listen to it.

I am a Harry Potter FREAK!! I have a decent sized collection of HP stuff. I need to take pics of it! :)

I am a bit of an Anglophile. I love Sherlock, Dr. Who, Call the Midwife and Downton Abbey. 

I tend to be a bit of a free spirit and march to the beat of my own drum and I like it that way. ;)

That’s a little bit about me! I hope you stick around and check things out!
