I’ve been married for over a decade and have five children–two boys (Turkey and Moose), and three girls (Bunny, Ladybug, and Chickadee). I’m a Missouri-Synod Lutheran, and once-upon-a-time was even a church professional. These days, I homeschool three of my children using a wide variety of curriculum, and I have fun planning special school units, especially for holidays like Christmas and special events like the Olympics. In my spare time I love reading, fashion, cooking and baking, blogging, St. Louis Cardinals baseball, the British Monarchy, watching What Not to Wear and Star Trek reruns, planning ahead for the next Christmas, and playing any version of Ticket to Ride. I love my large family, and can’t wait to see what each new day brings!
