When I prayed about homeschooling our kids I made sure I was not searching for a specific answer. This was not usually how I approached prayer.

I started blindly. I didn’t even know what questions to ask for help. I began along side other new moms who had experience teaching, but they were not any help for me.
Hair school was a success. I was a natural and SO eager to hone my skill. I had found something I loved.

One salon crew I met at a color-a-thon for Ronald McDonald House, the chemistry I had with the girls was like a jobs match made in heaven.

We live in Alberta, Canada because Matt’s job brought us here.
Matt and I met in California. I was living there on a visa loving life and falling more in love with the West Coast.

The spiritual connotation of my name means Seeker of the Truth. I’d say I define that to a tee.

When I was pregnant with Nate, Matt asked me to consider homeschooling our kids. I was shocked & overwhelmed by his request. I was a firm HELL NO. I was not open to put my children’s education into my own hands. I grew up understanding the stereotypes were true & if i adopted this lifestyle, my family would automatically be placed in those boxes. He asked me to pray about it.
