Here I go...

Okay, so after taking entirely too long to put together the pretty stuff here, I thought it was time to actually say something. I suppose the point of this blog is to sorta share what's going on in my life, as a Christian homeschooling mom of three and a half kids (I have a stepdaughter, I love her tons and tons but she has another mommy too so we only get her half the time). With the age span of my children, our family motto is "Never a Dull Moment" because, well, somebody always has something going on... From teething to cell phone bills, there is always some level of chaos around here. So, blogging it out might ease the pandemonium inside my head.

I plan on sharing how I do things around here, as far as homeschooling, household organization/management, and other Mom Issues. As we have very recently gone from two incomes down to one, I am new to the whole budget thing. One of the first things we're working on with budgetting is cooking, because I hate to cook but freezer meals and easy prep stuff is too expensive. So budgetting and cheap/easy recipes should make their way to this loveliness too.

A bit of a background for those who don't know us...

I'm Jenn, married for nearly ten years to a fantastic man, I call him Sgt FancyPants but from here on out I'll just call him Hubbs. I have three and a half children, seen in pics on the left side. My oldest son is technically my step son, but he has been mine for eleven years. My stepdaughter lives with her mother, and we see her twice a year. I homeschool my 8 year old because he is WAY too smart for the public schools here, and I will be starting a toddler curriculum with my youngest next month. I have been in the Early Childhood Education field for twelve years, working in all sorts of different positions within the career field. I also teach Sunday School and the Wednesday night youth group at our church, and am in school for a degree in ECE before eventually getting my Master's in Occupational Therapy. I hate to cook (I know I said that already, but I despise it so much that it deserved another mention), love to read, and we're big campers. And we have two dogs, because life isn't hectic enough.


Later, gators...
