Welcome! I’m Jennifer (aka Mama Jenn) and I’m so glad you’re here! Want to know more about me and this site?? Well, you are in the right place! I am a busy, homeschool mother of five amazing kiddos! My daughter (and only girl) is 15 years old. I also have two sets of twin boys (ages 11 and 13). Yep, you read that right…
I love spending time with my family. Hello, family movie night and family game night! The kiddos constantly keep my husband and me laughing (and sometimes, pulling our hair out)!
Never a dull moment in our house!!
When I’m not busy teaching or carpooling my kids to their various activities or hanging out with my husband, I spend my time right here blogging!
A few facts about me:
~ I was a math geek in school…I often stayed after class to ask my geometry teacher for extra proofs to work on. Yep, that was me!
~ I went on to earn my BA degree in Mathematics and my Masters degree in Education.
~ I taught high school math until I decided to trade in my class size of 35+ students for a much smaller class size that consisted of the children that sat at my kitchen table! I have homeschooled my kids from the very start.
~ I am tall…as in 6’2” and I earned a scholarship to play collegiate basketball.
~ I used to be what you would call a perfectionist. Though, having kids…many kids…has changed all that! I sometimes find myself longing for the long, lost days of complete organization and order. But, when I take a look across the dinner table at those precious faces, I can’t help but thank God for the chaos and disorder…though I still often find myself trying (in vain) to regain some sense of structure!
What this website is all about:
I started my blog back in 2008 as an outlet from my world that consisted mainly of nursing babies, changing diapers, and singing the ABC song. Somehow while I was busy raising 5 kids under the age of 5, I decided to create my own little corner of the online world. As with most blogs of that time, I shared the everyday happenings of my family.
However, as the years have passed, my focus has shifted and so has my blog content. As I began to homeschool my children, I found it to be quite difficult to find some of the learning resources we needed. So, I made them myself and I shared them with others online. And, I continue to share them!

Now that you know more about me, why I started this site, and what it’s all about, it’s time to dig in! I recommend that you start right here!
Enjoy,
