    I never know exactly what to put in an intro...so ask away if there is anything you want to know that I have skipped :lol:

    I have 4 boys...almost 17, 14, 10 and 7. While only the younger two are biologically mine, I have been known to call them all 'mine' :D The older 2 go to PS, buy my biokids have never been to school. They are now in grades 4 and 2.

    My youngest has recently been diagnosed with auditory processing disorder with executive function and speech components along with sensory integration dysfunction (active hyposensitive). I can't express in words how grateful I am that I chose to homeschool early on...as he would not have fit in in a PS classroom very well. While the road to getting him help has been long and stressful, I am so SO pleased with where we are now. We are finally finding strategies that work!! WOO!!


    As for me, I am a punky, crafty mama who loves to travel with her family. Super liberal in some ways, super conservative in others...but uber cool all round. I am married to a great guy who busts his butt in the forest making sure that I can stay home with my kiddos as long as I want :love:

    Anyhow, can't wait to poke around a little more :)
