MARIE HODGKIN
I’m a mother of 5 – soon to be 6 – who loves to research, travel, quilt, and spend time with family. After earning a B.A. in liberal arts with a concentration in English and history, I chose to stay at home to raise my kids even though it was not something I enjoyed (in the beginning). Our family life entails lots of ups and downs as we learn to navigate parenting, homeschooling, traveling, the constant need of food, medical/emotional challenges and hormones. I started this blog to write about what I love, my successes and failures. Life is NOT easy and there’s lots of beautiful and ugly to go around. I want you to know that you are not alone. Life is a struggle and that’s okay. Pick a category of interest and dive into my crazy, wonderful life and hopefully find some inspiration for your own journey along the way!
