PROFILE
Currently, I have been homeschooling for 6 years, I have a 10 year old daughter and a 5 year old son. I am an active member of the Homeschool Review Crew, I help on the Review Checking Team and the Anchor Post Team. The Review Checking Team requires me to check blog articles for certain criteria and importing data to spreadsheets. The Anchor Post Team requires me to write introductory articles for products or vendors on the company blog page.
I have been writing on my blog The Life We Build since March 2017. It began as a family blog, we began sharing our experiences in homesteading. It quickly morphed into a homeschooling blog later that year. Homeschooling and helping moms/families is a passion of mine.
