Thursday, May 30, 2019 - A Bloggy Introduction

I thought I would post an Introduction of sorts and date it AHEAD so it is always the first post you read when coming to my Blog.  So here goes:

I am a homeschooling working mom of 4 amazing children.  We started homeschooling in 2003 when we lived in Italy and named our school Casa Luce Homeschool  which is Italian for Light House (or House Light if you want to be LITERAL).

For fun (and a little $) I teach Wilton Method Cake decorating at two local craft stores.  I also have many part time and temporary jobs to help make ends meet.

Our two oldest children have blogs as well casaluceprincess and casalucetomazo, they don't blog much but I am working on changing that.  They are currently attending a Writer's Funshop and I am hoping I can get them to share more as they progress.

We currently live in Virginia and LOVE to explore all the awesome historical places around the state. 

I have loads of interests and hobbies including: blogging & other computer stuff, sewing, photography (with real film and all), gardening, pottery (as in clay and a wheel not paint 'n go), crochet (can't knit a stitch), cake decorating, bread baking, frugal living (although I fell off the wagon a while back, we are climbing back on), scrap booking, stamping, card making, art history and more.

Although we use Switched on Schoolhouse our homeschool is eclectic with a shifting focus toward Charlotte Mason and Ambelside Online.   We are changing slowly  to Math-U-See and pulling away from the computer programs. 

I am re-doing this blog and moving things in from my other blogs.  Soon you will see posts from my other Blog "The Battle is His."  This blog contained information about Autisim and Asperger's Syndrome.  A disorder which our oldest son was diagnosed with in the fall of 2007.

So this New_cr8ion blog will focus on daily life, family news, advocacy for Autisim and Asperger's Syndrom, articles I find that encourage me, funny stuff, company and product reviews and of course my unbridled opinions about world events.   A great BIG THANKS to Ally of Mission Field Designs for helping me pretty up this blog, she is AWESOME.  If you need help with your blog go see her!
