Beth Anne has been married to her high school sweet heart for 13 years. She has two creative children, a 11 year old daughter and a 9 year old son. She has her masters in school counseling and worked for about 10 years in Applied Behavioral Analysis. Between receiving her masters in school counseling and working in the field of ABA she had the opportunity of spending many hours in IEP’s and observing classrooms in both the public and private sector. These hours spent alongside parents in school offices and classrooms sparked interest in imagining the ideal scenario and environment for children to learn and thrive in what they are learning. Thus began the spark to pursue homeschooling with her own children one day. While her oldest was a toddler she came across Charlotte Mason and she’s been implementing Charlotte Mason’s principles ever since, even if ever so imperfectly.
She is passionate about encouraging new homeschoolers and creating community where the outdoors, literature, and handicrafts can be enjoyed together.
As a family, she loves camping, hiking, big bbqs, and reading together. A perfect day would include all of those things together.
