Hi and thanks for stopping by. I'm Maureen Kellis, a business development specialist, a home busines owner, a wife, and a homeschooling mother of four sons.
I truly believe that it is so important to live with passion. Passion about your life, and what you are doing with it. This has been a year of pruning. Pruning out all of the stuff I'm not passionate about. And what do I have left? My family, my friends, homeschooling, my business, and my faith.
It is my hope that you get passionate about your life (if you are not already!). We should not be leading lives "of quiet desperation."
Enjoy your visit here and at some of my other websites. Perhaps you'll get to know me and in the process, I'll get to know you as well.
Create the Life You Love!
Maureen Kellis :-)
My Family
..I live with my husband, Jonathan and our four wonderful, energetic, and super smart sons: Simon(10), Lucas(9), Benjamin(6), and Ethan(4). We've got 5 kittens- (the boys each have one and one is mine) Shakespeare, Columbus, Queen Elizabeth, Blossom Pepper Doodle Von YumYum, and Coco Chanel. My Passion for Homeschooling
..or why I endure the madness...
Sitting in a traditional enviroment was not going to be for our family however, and we embarked on unit studies. That's where history, science, writing, and bible converge on a specific topic.
It's been alot of fun, but there are very trying moments, like keeping all of the boys under control! ;-)

and create a new paradigm for your family!
Having a home business has afforded me the opportunity to stay home and raise my four children. Too many parents desperately want that, but don't know how. And I'm so grateful to have had that privilege. A home business also lets me keep one foot in the "professional" realm. It's like having the best of both worlds. My Faith
My faith in Jesus Christ is the backbone of my life. It frames my decisions, my family life and the way I conduct my business.Learn More About Jesus and How to Share Your Faith
