This post was written on June 8, 2015, when I graduated my 2nd daughter from our homeschool. As you know we recently graduated our second daughter from our homeschool. A common question I get from others is, what does a homeschool graduation even look like? Honestly, every homeschool graduation will look completely different just as […]
Making It To Graduation – Despite Chronic Illness
Just a few short weeks ago my husband and I graduated our second daughter and homeschooler. We’ve been homeschooling since September 2001. We’ve graduated two children so far and have two more to go.

Do You Think I Make a Big Deal About Lyme?
Do you think I make too big a deal about Lyme Disease? When an illness overtakes your body and causes more pain than you’ve ever had in your life.

Antibiotics for Lyme and What We’re Doing Now
