Hi, and welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere.
My computer programmer husband and I have been married for 15 years. Our oldest daughter, The Artist, is a high school freshman. Next in line is The Author in 7th grade. Our oldest son, Mr. Adventure, is in 5th grade. Little Miss Sunshine is a 4th grader. Our youngest daughter, Princess, is 5 and super excited to start kindergarten. Rounding out the family is our 2-year-old Bugaboo.
Contrary to what you might think based on my blog title/design, I don't homeschool. I don't even teach formally (outside of church), but I am an educator at heart. I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education that I might put to use one of these days. Teaching is one of my passions and I've always loved the pioneer, Little House on the Prairie, one-room schoolhouse era. My childhood dream was to become a teacher and teach in a one-room schoolhouse. This is as close as I got:
Just making sure the kids get where they need to be keeps me pretty busy, but I'm a regular visitor at our elementary school and a volunteer with the PTA and our church's cub scout pack. I try to make time for me somewhere in there, too. My family is one of my top priorities, whether it is my husband and kids or the family I grew up in.

I started this blog as a place to share projects I've done, crafts, recipes, etc., that catch my interest and that might interest others. It's like a one-room schoolhouse because it has a little bit of everything, just like teachers used to have to teach a bit of this and a bit of that to their students.
