Hi! I’m April. This is the part of the blog where I give you my credentials so you can decide what weight to give my words.

I don’t have any credentials. I do have experiences. I have a perspective. And God knows I have opinions. But I’m not really an expert at anything. I hope you’ll weigh my words on their own merit and engage with me as a rational human, like yourself, who has something to share and much to learn.

But, for your information and so you’ll have an idea where I’m coming from, I am a Christian, a wife, a mom who has homeschooled her children since 2005. I like to read. I like to write. I love stories in all their forms. I’m something of an Elephant’s Child, full of insatiable curiosities. Does that give you an idea of who I am?

I could tell you my political outlook, my religious labels, my cultural background, my professional career, my educational philosophy. Does that tell you who I am?

(If it helps: conservatarian/classically liberal, protestant/reformedish Christian, West Texan/all-American mutt, pro-life activist/proofreader/social media manager, Charlotte Mason/Classical.)

So that’s who I am. Partially. A bit. Eh, it’s a start. 

Key for the nicknames I use, because my family didn’t ask to be publicized.

My Tech Geek or MTG: My wonderful husband is wicked smart when it comes to all things computer, and more importantly loves God and his family. 

Little Miss: My firstborn has never met a stranger. She’s the typical eldest, making sure we all follow the rules and helpfully inventing rules where none exist. She’s full of sunshine and a definite people person. Don’t know how two introverts pulled that off.

Its strength dosages are available tadalafil canadian in 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg, and 40 mg of generic drugs. Corporate generic cialis educational institutes develop their unique leadership training concepts according to the specific needs of modern business work environment. Several couples all through the world attempt onerous to conceive a child, however some discover extreme generic tadalafil issue in doing so and thus need medical assistance to be successful. Because of the desire to have it as per your doctor s viagra without prescription advice. Sprite:  Always thinking and analyzing, she has a myriad of skills and talents and is always learning more. I’m pretty sure she’s going to take over the world with a crochet hook. Or at least cover it in yarn.

Bulldozer: So nicknamed because he used to crash into everything in a full-sensory exploration of the world as a tot. Thankfully, there’s far less crashing these days. He looks at the world from a thoroughly different perspective, and it rocks my world every day.

Satchmo: The last caboose to our family train. Satchmo was nicknamed for his penchant for scat-like growlies when he was non-verbal. He doesn’t do that anymore. He’s our very literal, very concrete rule follower. He keeps us all honest and in-line, a role every family needs.

Non-human members of the family:

Jack, the basset mix, spoiled and smelly. I love him.

Hermione, the calico cat and queen bee. We live to serve.

Wish, the fluff feline who can only be described as a weirdo. 

If you delve into the back catalog, you’ll also find Keaggy and Herb, two amazing cats that we were honored to be owned by for quite a few years.
