Meet Marie

Hey, I’m Marie, a veteran homeschooling mom of four and a professional freelance writer.

The idea of homeschool for our family is that it is a lifestyle, not just an education at home.

Everything that we do, every choice we make and even the vacations that we take have elements of learning weaved in.

As life-long learners of all ages, we embrace the homeschool lifestyle as a way of living, doing, and being rather than a block of tasks and activities each day.
