The musing of a work-at-home, homeschooling mom to four fun kids and wife to a wonderful, indulgent husband.

A Note from Shannon
Living life, fully at home with family is a wonderful, fun, and amazing journey. Not always easy, but definitely worth it. We started this journey of homeschooling when my oldest child (now 13) was preschool age – though if you ask her, she’ll say it was when she was born. Now I’m homeschooling all four of our children and never ever regret it.

During our entire homeschooling journey, I have worked at home. Early on I worked 10-12 hour days from my home office while my husband cared for the children, and then after work, my oldest and I would sit down and do her schoolwork. In fact, when I stopped working those long days, it was difficult to get her to do her schoolwork during the day. By the time my second child was ready to “start school”, I had a flexible schedule working at home as a freelancer/consultant. 

I am frequently asked how I balance it all, is it really possible to homeschool and work, and more frequently, other homeschooling moms ask me how they can work from home. Here I hope to encourage others who homeschool and work in their journey, encourage those who are considering homeschooling or working from home, and share lessons and information I have learned along the way…and am still learning.

I am not a perfect individual, nor is my family perfect. But my children are loved beyond measure, and we live life together.

I pray that you will be encouraged in your journey and hope that you will find something useful here.

More About Living Life at Home

Living Life at Home started in November of 2008 as a personal blog  and has grown from there as a tool to share information and encouragement with other moms. My primary goal is to share information, tips, and insights with other work-at-home and/or homeschooling moms, and those who are looking at either working from home or homeschooling, as others have generously shared with me.

Currently, Living Life at Home consists of three main areas: the blog, the email newsletter, and the Living Life at Home podcast.  You can also find me on Twitter, Facebook, and the Linkedin.
