INFO ON "TALES OF THE HEARTILY HOMESCHOOLED"

 What do you get when you throw twenty children, four parents, several cross-country trips, and a sense of humour between the covers of one book?
Lots and lots of big family fun that will tickle the funny bones and warm the hearts of your entire clan.
Rachel Starr Thomson is the oldest of twelve children. Carolyn Currey, her second cousin, is the oldest of eight. Not only are their families huge, they also homeschool! Drawing on some of their favourite memories, Rachel and Carolyn have written a book of essays that will make you laugh, think, and thank God for family.

About Me

Lynn - Coordinator for Ontario I am a wife, a mother of 2 boys in their late 20's and one girl in her early 20's and caretaker/mommy to a 2 year old cat and live in Scarborough, Toronto. I homeschooled my daughter during her teen years after many struggles in finding schools that offered programs that would fit her needs, including Art/Dance, Alternative/Gifted, Public, Catholic. Through the experiences we had and through my connections with other homeschooling parents I firmly believe that homeschooling is a great option, one that would suit many a parent some of whom are not aware that this is a choice for them. I currently share information about what is available to homeschoolers in my neighbourhood including where they can connect, find services and get support. I am eager to share information on what is relevant in Ontario. I hope to continue to reach more homeschoolers especially those who are just taking steps out or considering the Homeschooling path. I would like to encourage more homeschoolers to develop and become involved in clubs, competitions and volunteer groups. I would like to see more advocacy work that will improve the opportunities for homeschoolers. Please C'mon in and help me bridge services to homeschoolers in Ontario and share your knowledge and ideas. Lynn
