Grace At Home

I have been Homeschooling for 10 years. We currently have children in 8th, 6th, and 4th grade. In addition to teaching my own children, I have previously taught two Sign Language classes, a Watercolor and Calligraphy class, Homeschool Choir, and a Classical Conversations (Foundations) classroom.

My teaching style is a mix between classical education and creatively out of the box. I like to add whimsy and magic to things. I also think it's very important to not only pass along information, but also, to teach children the art of self instruction. To spark an appetite for learning and continue to fan that flame. I like to teach and engage in such a way as to create a hunger for more infomation beyond what is given. If I can teach children to love learning in and of itself, then I am not only benefitting them during grade school but also for their entire life. I am convinced that retention doubles when children enjoy learning and also take ownership of their education on some level. Once they graduate, they will not go far in life with zero drive to learn. Someday the decision to keep expanding their mind will not be their Teacher or their Parent's decision, but only their own. If I can be a part of the reason they have a hunger to keep learning then that is a teaching win for me!

3.5 years of College

The first three things are integral to who I am and after that it's in no particular order... First off, I am a Christian. My relationship with Jesus is what gives me life and wakes me up in the morning. I've been through some ridiculously hard seasons but God has always been faithful to me. Second off, I am a Wife. My husband, Bailey and I have been married for 13 years. He is my best friend and most trusted confidant and favorite person to mess with! Third, I am a Momma to three amazing boys. These creative evil genusis have the best laughs and hearts in the world--I'm convinced. I love being their Mom. -I am a musician. I love writing original pieces as well as playing covers. My husband and I have a YouTube channel and post things from time to time. I also have a Tik Tok channel. -I am an artist. I make hand painted journals, cards, wooden ornaments, bookmarks, canvas paintings, etc. My specialty is calligraphy and watercolor. I have a side business called Grace At Home. You can find me on Facebook. -I am a Homeschool Teacher of 9 years. Teaching--like any job-- ebbs and flows. Currently I am in a season of ebb. Life is hard but God continues to be good. -I am a writer and so is my husband. His specialty is fiction and mine is literally anything that is non-fiction. My favorite thing to write is encouragement for fellow Mommas in the form of devotionals or articles. If you read this far, mad props to you! I appreciate your interest and support. Have a wonderful day and if I never see you again, have a wonderful life! -Grace
