• HELLO

  I'm a home schooling mom of 3 kids -- Sarah (13), James (9) & Trisha (4) -- and a writing coach. I'm married to my best friend and lover of 20 years. We live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. I am a thoroughly eclectic home schooler, a "liberal" Christian who chooses to live without organized religion, and a person who likes to do things my own way. I don't fit into any niche. Welcome!
