Natalie's Homeschooling Journey
Meet Natalie
Mom, Wife, Friend, Teacher, Homeschool Mom & Coach
Natalie knew at five years of age, she wanted to be a teacher. In 2005, she graduated with a degree Elementary Education from BYU.
She taught all grade levels from preschool through fifth grade, including running her own preschool for three years. She also taught at a specialty private school for children with Dyslexia and has received specialized training in Slingerland, an Orton-Gillingham Method for teaching literacy.
In 2009, she attended a non-traditional university called George Whythe University, founded by Oliver DeMille. She began a Master’s in Education which led to a conviction that classroom life offers the least desirable childhood for children. A passion for non-traditional forms of educating began to brew.
Upon becoming a mother to twins in 2011, her teaching career ended. She immediately began researching and studying everything she could about homeschool. She believes homeschool is the greatest gift a mother can be given; the gift to slow down, be present, observe all the little learning moments, and grow alongside her child. As well as, the greatest gift a mother can offer her own children; the freedom to be oneself, to follow a passion to the fullest extent possible, to chart ones course, to move at a custom pace, and to come to know oneself.
Natalie is married her amazingly supportive husband, Dan. They are parents to five incredible children and reside in Utah.
Meet Michelle
Mom, Wife, Author, Speaker, Homeschool Mom & Coach
Michelle is a mother of four grown children and a grandmother to five. Her passion for learning led her to homeschool when her oldest was thirteen and her youngest was three. In three years her oldest daughter received a full four year scholarship without a diploma or GED to Utah State University at age sixteen, her oldest son followed at age fifteen, and the two younger siblings joined them at age seventeen. They have gone on to get their Master's and Michelle often brags that her children have more education than she does (She has no formal schooling past High School).
Let Michelle take you through her journey as a homeschool Mom and give you the hope that you can do this, it isn't as difficult as you think. She will also share her passion of incorporating travel and humanitarian trips into learning.
Now that Michelle has finished that chapter of her life, she has moved on to helping people live a healthy and happier life through nutrition, (Naturally Michelle) teaching them how to travel the world for just the cost of food and fun (TravelingU, Author of three travel books) and helping mothers homeschool their families (Simplified Homeschooling).
