This Weeks Assignment: This week, we want to hear about YOU. The author behind the words. The Momma behind all the homeschooling kiddos. Just write up something about you, your family, and your home. How long you’ve been homeschooling and why you decided to homeschool. It doesn’t have to be anything lengthy at all, but we’d love to hear it! You might include a family photo too!

I'm Kim married to my sweet heart for nine years this Saturday!  We have been blessed with 4 sweet girls age 6, 4, 2, 1 and a baby due mid Nov.

My husband and I are both homesteaders at heart.  Although we've lived in a range of places from old homesteads with out hydro and water to apartments.  Currently we live in the house we bought 4 years ago, renovating it to sell one day.  Our house is 158 years old!  Quite old for this area.  We both really like our home here and it would be perfect if it just had more acreage!

Before our first child was born I knew I wanted to homeschool.  Thankfully dh was in full agreement.  We both were raised in the public school system and saw it's many down falls.  While we both love learning the schools we went to did a very good job of trying to squelch that.  Thankfully while growing up I lived nearby a homeschooling family.  When I was in my mid teens I took myself out of the public system and finished my schooling with a combination of correspondence and home (self) schooling.

Our children love learning with history, science and art being their favorite subjects.  Our basic curriculum can be seen here.   While I believe that learning starts at birth, we've been officially homeschooling for 2 years.

Other interests of mine are gardening, canning/cooking, hiking, reading, crochet, different handcrafts and generally anything that falls into a homestead/homemaking category.

Looks like your littles are spaced out almost like mine....I mean in years, not mentality. :>) You can take a look at my 'steader blog here too, but it doesn't have any posts on it yet. Decided it was best to get a handle on one blog before attempting to tackle two.
Many Blessings,

I love your site! While I'm far too much of a sissified city girl to ever homestead myself, I love reading what women who do homestead have to write. (Its almost like virtual homesteading; I get to share in the joy without doing the hard work).

If you don't mind, I would love to include links to your blogs on my blog (just so I can find you again easily...once again, sissified city girl here.)

Thank you for sharing about yourself <3
