Ultimate Blog Party {2012}

Ultimate Blog Party 2012

 

Hey y’all!  I have always wanted to take part in one of these blog parties so I thought that I’d do a “little bit about me” post today to introduce myself!

January 12, 2012 053 My name is Adriane.  I am married to David and am mom to five children.  We live in Louisiana and we love the deep south that we call home. 

To start off this post, I thought I’d tell you a few interesting facts about me.

  • I love to sing and have been singing in front of crowds since I was five-years-old.
  • I play the piano too but quit many years ago due to stage fright when performing on the piano in front of crowds!
  • I am a certified elementary/special education teacher and taught in public schools for 8 years.
  • I once said that I’d never homeschool.
  • We’ve been a homeschooling family for 7 years.  {smile}
  • I love Tex-Mex food.  I’d have it everyday if I could.
  • I do not like Dr. Pepper {but Coca-Cola is a different story!}
  • I love Sonic’s Cherry Dr. Pepper. 
  • One of my favorite places in the whole world is my backyard garden.  It is truly a place of peace, wonder, and beauty!

Homeschooling

We are a homeschooling family so it tends to pop up now and again on the blog.  Some of the most-read posts about homeschooling here are:
