MY STORY
My name is Alaina. I'm a busy Mom of 4. I've been homeschooling for 14 years.
We started homeschooling when my oldest was the age to start junior kindergarten because we thought it was too young to send her off to school all day, and we wanted more time to lay a foundation to teach our family values. Although, originally, I was just going to homeschool for a few years, we kept going to support the different struggles and needs of my kids.
I have experience homeschooling multiple kids, homeschooling different ages, homeschooling with chronic health problems and homeschooling kids with various struggles. I also have experience helping run my local homeschool group.
It is my hope that whatever I write encourages and helps other homeschool parents.
