About Me

Welcome to the About Me page on All About Homeschool Curriculum website. I appreciate you taking the time to visit this website and hope that you will return often.

I am the mother of ten biological "arrows from the Lord" and an "adopted daughter," Natalie (pictured 2nd from left.) She lived with us over the summer and has been like a member of our family ever since.

She loves to refer to herself as "the oldest of eleven children."

My husband Wayne and I reside in TN with our ten children, six of whom still live at home. The two oldest daughters live in a house nearby and two others attend college in Clarksville.

We have been blessed to become grandparents since the arrival of our first grandchild, Ezekiel James!

Our current pet population includes a Beagle named "Dude" and an average-sized, tropical fish aquarium of named pets as well, but I will spare you those details!

My husband Wayne and I have homeschooled our children from kindergarten through high school. We believe that it is a great way to train children spiritually and academically; however, we know that homeschooling is not the only way to teach children!

I hope this About Me page and the rest of this site answers some of your questions concerning how and why we home educate our children.

Home education is a way of life
for our family.



Since Getting Started...

  • We have graduated four children from home school high school. One graduated from Vanderbilt University with a double major after receiving an academic scholarship. Another is currently pursuing a degree in Education. Two other home school graduates earned the HOPE scholarship and are attending college, with one daughter completing her high school studies at the age of sixteen
  • All our college graduates have graduated with honors
  • Three of our daughters have completed an entire novel during the National Novel Writing challenge for several years. Several years ago, they helped their then-eight-year-old sister complete one as well
  • One has a growing website and is attending cosmetology school and another one has her own blog
  • Our sons have learned to do numerous electrical, plumbing, and home repair jobs for us and receive praises from others for their abilities and work ethics
  • One son is very talented with computers and is learning coding and another is following his passion in art via online studies

For the 2013-2014 academic year, I will be educating children in the following grades: 3rd, 6th, 8th, and 10th

I have been home educating our children for twenty-five years now and will continue for another nine years, since our youngest is only nine years old.

Pursuing My Dreams

I have primarily been a stay-at-home mom other than a few brief periods of working outside the home through a temporary agency and as a designer for closets and garage storage solutions from 2008-2010.

Now, I am able to enjoy the best of both of these worlds. I can stay home with our family and earn an income doing what I am most passionate about!

Thank you for taking the time to read my About Me page. On this site I plan to offer quality content resulting from my experience as a homeschool mom of ten children.
