My mission? Helping moms create and run
joyful homeschool co-ops.
I have so much to look back on. It would take a long time to share it all. Ultimately, it was one day of “best school ever”! We had it all! Those were the best years of my life. I had the best students in the world, and they amazed us all with their talent! Honestly, I know that we could only give them so much in one day; but
I think that they
really pulled off some amazing stuff.

I loved that we were able to go on field trips with co-op, and I even learned things I did not learn when going to public schools myself! There is so much more to homeschooling and the fun ways to learn and not forget what you learned. We appreciated everyone’s hard work to make it all a great experience through to the end of high school. Thank you to everyone that made it happen!

In other co-ops, we had more of a sense that we were just doing classes. But your co-op was seeing that we were all part of it, that we all had a voice in it. And you wanted to make it what we all wanted it to be. It drew out a lot of people. It was fascinating to see some of the moms come out of their quiet exclusiveness. It just brought out a lot of talents the moms had inside of themselves. You didn’t limit what could be done in the classes. I felt a release of who we could be as teachers within ourselves.
