Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’m a homeschooling mom of five, managing RA while teaching my kids how to ask questions, not be afraid of making mistakes, and learn how to learn, even as adults. This work was inspired by my kids and my love for writing and drawing.

When I was researching different teaching methods, I came across the Charlotte Mason method and fell in love with it. I love the idea that learning is part of your atmosphere: your education, but also your life. It’s so important to me that my kids keep their love of learning, practice how to learn, and aren’t afraid to ask questions.

I grew up going to public school, and while I’m grateful for what I learned, my one regret is that it sucked the fun out of learning. I only absorbed information for the test, and that was it. But I loved to read and learn, and I still often go down rabbit holes on different topics, finding the connections that might be hidden underneath: how mathematics shows up in nature and in flowers, how music can make art in water and sand, and how events and views that are centuries old affect our world today.

The world is fascinating, there’s so much to discover, and I want my kids to keep that same wonder and excitement about the world, even when life gets a little heavy.

Managing RA can be really difficult and has definitely limited my abilities, but thankfully it hasn’t taken away my ability to read, write, and draw (for the most part; drawing can be a little difficult sometimes). This is a fun thing to share with my kids and with other families, and nothing is more exciting than watching your kids recognize something on a walk, their eyes lighting up as they tell you all their favorite things they learned about it.

My kids absolutely go nuts over a piece of mail with their name on it. Honestly, even I get excited when a piece of mail I’ve been looking forward to shows up, and it definitely isn’t a bill or an ad. So I created this so your kids, as well as mine, have something to look forward to in the mail.

This is something you can enjoy reading and going through together as a family: less screen time, and more time to ask questions, learn how to find answers and stories in books and online (learning how to research online safely, for those old enough), and share your favorite facts with each other.
