I'm a Waldorf-inspired homeschooling mom to three beautiful and spirited children, ages 14 and under.

This is the story of our journey. Our homeschooling years have seen us uprooted from the American mid-west, through the idyllic Swiss countryside, to rest in the rainy heart of England. It's not a perfect journey, but I have learned so much along the way.

Whether you're looking for inspiration or camaraderie, I hope you enjoy your visit. Please leave a comment so that I know you've stopped by.
