I guess it's only right that the first post should introduce who I am. Who am I? (deep breath) My name is Kila. I am.....
Mother: I have four children. My boys are Mario (17), RJ (14), and CJ (9), and my daughter is Crystal (6).
Teacher: I have been "homeschooling" my children for 13 years now. Currently, the older two are in public school and the younger two are still home with me. I say "homeschooling" because that word doesn't accurately describe our experiences. Unschooling is probably more appropriate, but something about the word 'school' makes my skin crawl. LOL!
Business owner: I am a licensed massage therapist and owner/operator of Mobile Massage By Kila. As the name states, I provide massage in the home or at the office.
Superwoman: I get to call myself that because I am a single mother and have managed to keep my sanity AND be happy while successfully handling all my responsibilities!
My reason for blogging is two-fold. First of all, I love to write. I have kept a journal since the first grade. Secondly, I want to share my experiences with others and hopefully encourage other single parents that they can homeschool, too, if that is their desire. I eventually want to write a book, but life is so busy right now that a blog will have to suffice for the moment :)
After 20 years of homeschooling 4 kids as a single mom, I only have 1 left in school and she chose boarding school 2,138 miles from home. I’m hoping to revive this blog to help pay for her tuition, because a blessing is needed to keep her there. I owe $15,000 & I want her to be able to graduate from that school. She has earned scholarships for her junior and senior year, but her sophomore year, I pledged to pay using blind faith. I just wanted to support her in her educational pursuit!
