About Me and This Blog

Welcome to Our Home!


We are a Coast Guard Family and we are currently in beautiful SE Alaska. I am the School Marm around here, and I love my students with unabashed devotion. For the 2011-12 school year I will have two 3rd graders (8 yo boy/girl twins) and my little kindergartener (5 yo dd).

I recently discovered http://www.rubyslippersschool.com/ and was excited to see that she did a weekly blog about their Heart of Dakota adventures. Unfortunately I discovered it just in time to see she will no longer be using HOD (at least at this season of her busy life). Sigh. So, after much consideration and prayer, I have decided to take a stab at blogging our own HOD adventures this year!  This will be our 3rd HOD curriculum to try, and we are eager to get started.  (For a full listing of what we are planning to use this year, click the HOD tab below the blog header). 

So come on in and pull up a chair.  We're going to be globe-trotting through History without even leaving the table!

Blessings,
Hillary At Home
