About Me



I'm just a thirty-something gal enjoying life in the Smoky Mtns. I'm a Christian homeschool mom of three little bears and the doting wife to Tracy for almost 17 years. I'm a computer nerd (That is "nerd" not "geek". Please note the difference) and aspiring photographer. (Yes, I take tons of pics.) I work part-time as a pharmacy technician at a local grocery store. I'm studying to become a Certified Pharmacy Technician.

I am so blessed to be able to homeschool our children. Some days are challenging, but no matter what happens I know that it is worth it.
