Welcome to Camp Creevey.  As you journey with our family on our electic homeschooling/unschooling life, I hope that you find great infomation for learning, playing, and living life to its fullest.  Today is our first day for our blog.  We are a family of five, Me (Cheryl), dh - Keith, Jonathan (20), Alexis (13) and Jameson (10).  We live in a little town in Michigan with lakes all around us.

My oldest child, Jonathan, graduated in 2003 from a public school.  He has his own band, Small Town Revolver, and plays quite a few venues in Michigan and some in Ohio.  His love is music, family and friends.  He has won two voice scholarships and the band has taken first place twice in a Battle of the Bands.  He has a great girlfriend for the past three years, Christina, and we hope to make her part of our family in the future.  He does have a website, which is, again, under construction.  When it is up and running, I will post it.

My second child, Alexis, is homeschooled and in 8th grade.  She was diagnosed with cancer when she was three, failed chemo three times and was considered terminal.  She defied those odds and came off the terminal status last May (2004).  She loves animals, books, family and friends.  She is involved in Odyssey of the Mind, 4-H clubs, drama and plays the piano.

My youngest child, Jameson, is homeschooled and in 5th grade.  He is all boy and very much different from his older brother.  He is my sporty child and will play any sport available.  He is involved in Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, 4-H clubs, drama and plays the guitar.

My husband, Keith, is a artist and carpenter.  He makes most of his money by doing home and commercial building and repairs.  He is working on his art, which consist of pencil drawings, colored and black and white, pastels and water colors.  We are hoping to set up at some great craft fairs on our travels.

I have done some schooling and am a Certified Legal Assistant, Interior Decorator and past the exam for a Real Estate License.  I use none of these.  My main goal is to stay home and raise my children while making money, which led me to study the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".  I now invest in assets and try not to inquire any liabilities.  This is the biggest concept I would like to get across to my children.  Not to "Work for Money", but to "Make Money work for You".

We all love to travel together and hope to purchase a nice travel trailer to do some extensive traveling throughout the United States and Canada while my dh sells his wonderful art and I add to our asset column.  Join us as I fill you in on our travels, art, unit studies, unschooling, electic homeschooling, sports updates and anything else that becomes an interest in our lives and hopefully will interest you.

Have a great day.

Cheryl, proud owner of Camp Creevey

I was encouraged when I read about you wanting to travel with your family, as it's been our dream as well... we're taking care of debt first and then want to commit to a year. We have six children, and aren't sure how the Lord is going to work, but we've felt him guiding us through this decision for over a year now. I will continue to check in and see how your plans are coming. I'm just setting up my blog, so it should be up soon, and I plan on commenting on how our plans for the trip are coming. Blessings to you and yours!
