Husband Name?  Scott

Favorite childhood memory?  
Riding sleds down our iced paths.  We would dig snow paths during the day out on 
our hillside at dusk we would pour water on them to freeze, and then sled ride the next day.

What is one accomplishment you are proud of that occurred before marriage/children?
Graduating college with my RN licenses. I was the first in my generation of grand kids to go to college.  

How did you make decision to homeschool?
I worked nightshift when my oldest was young.  School and homework schedules didn't   mesh well with my 12 hour shift days, so we didn't send her back the next fall.   Homeschooling was so much more flexible, and we had more family time to enjoy 
each other and honor God's path for our lives.

Favorite subject in school growing up?
MATH---I love solving the puzzle

Favorite subject to teach now?
Bible. I grew up outside of the church, so I am discovering a lot of scripture right along with my kids.

Favorite quality in a friend?
Faithfulness and trust

Favorite chore?
Organizing

Least favorite chore?
Dusting

Favorite parenting resource?
K-love radio and Focus on the Family (Dobson)

Knowing what you know now, what is your best tip for other homeschooling moms?
You can do this. When God calls; He will direct.  Just take one day, one week, and one year at a time. Schooling shouldn't get in the way of your children's education...
follow their  passions and watch them blossom into who God wants them to be.

If you had an extra hour in your day how would you spend it?
Relaxing...I never seem to have Mom time.  Probably unwinding with a book or 
snuggling with  my hubby and watching a good movie.
