Harmony Art Mom

I thought it might be helpful to make a lens sharing all the things I do all over the internet.

I am a homeschooling mom of four children. Two of those children have graduated from high school and just about finished college. My two youngest boys are in high school and we are taking the challenge of homeschooling for the complete four years. I write a lot about homeschooling on my my Harmony Art Mom blog and I keep up a nature blog called Handbook of Nature Study, based on the book by the same title.

We live in Northern California in the Sierra Nevada foothills. We spend lots of time outdoors whether it is in our own yard or within an hour or so of our house. We can ski, snowboard, snowshoe, hike, canoe, kayak, river raft, and swim all within a few miles of our house in an area that most people consider vacation land.

My husband is a wildland firefighter and inventor in his spare time. We have been married 26 years and enjoy drinking coffee, planning and taking trips, and spending time with our children.

My passions have turned into a work-from-home adventure with Harmony Fine Arts and the Outdoor Hour Challenge ebooks. You never know where your interests will lead and mine have taken me farther than I imagined. My involvement in nature study drew the attention of Cornell University and they featured my work on their Celebrate Urban Birds website.
