About

We have three kids, currently ages 5, 3.5, and 22 months. While most of the time a circus troupe of monkeys would not begin to match their chaos, they are also full of excitement, energy, creativity, fun, and wonder.

I did not plan to homeschool, but seeing all their distinct personalities and so clearly how differently each one needed to be taught to work with who they are as individuals, I just couldn’t imagine sending them all somewhere to learn that had the same style for everyone. Add to that, we have a very active lifestyle and are often traveling which would fit into a school schedule with difficulty, so it just made sense.

My oldest is very calm, quiet and creative. She is basically your textbook textbook learner. She can sit still at a table tracing letters for hours.

My middle is as high energy as they come. I can barely get him to sit still in a chair long enough to look at an iPad. He is constantly just a blur of sound and movement. He spends most of his time outside running wild.

My youngest is still a little young for school at the time I’m starting this blog (22 months) but she is so far an active little cowgirl tomboy who loves horses, chasing her big brother outside, and building couch pillow forts with her big sister in the living room. It’ll be interesting to see her learning style as she grows.

I am starting this blog in the hope of brainstorming and giving other like-minded parents ideas for how to teach kids of all different personalities in fun ways. I myself am always searching for new ideas and love reading other creative homeschooling blogs.
