All About Us

Where to begin?

That's us, we took the kids to Mount Rushmore in September 2014

Diary of a Nouveau Soccer Mom is my personal blog, with just a little bit of everything:
  • Our travel adventures
  • Things to do in our current city (Colorado Springs)
  • Books I love and read and blog about
  • Homeschooling, we've homeschooled 8 years in three different states
  • Product reviews for companies I work with or just things I like
  • Cooking & baking ideas that do not fit on my food blog
  • Girl Scouts & Cub Scouts, which both kids participate in
  • Other things that amuse me, entertain me, or that I think are cool
A Little About Me:
  • I'm married to my awesome husband for 18 years now, together for 22 years.  He's active duty Army, so we move more than I'd like to.
  • We have two teens--our daughter is almost 16 and our son is 13.  I homeschool them both.
  • I'm from Canada, a Texan at heart, currently living in and loving Colorado
  • I have a BA & MA in Political Science, plus teaching certification, but I'm on a very long term sabbatical.
  • I love to travel and I love to explore wherever it is we are currently living.
  • I'm a big book geek and my purse must fit my Kindle
  • I do like to craft and bake and cook, but I hate the cleaning up part
  • I have a border collie named Dante (yes, after the Inferno) who I adore
  • I love to ski but other than that, I'm good with warm weather all year long
