I’m Betsy. I’m a Christian (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). I’m a wife to Allen for 34 years. We have six kids we homeschooled for more than 25 years. And I’m the blessed nana to three beautiful grandchildren, Gemma, Jackson, and Lorelei. They are my pride and joy!!
 
 
During the time I homeschooled my kids, I created hundreds of educational resources. I’ve been creating these resources for more than 15 years. You can find my educational resources over at TeachersPayTeachers. Because my children are grown and I’ve moved into the grandma season of my life, I’m focusing mostly on early elementary resources for my sweet grandbabies.
 
Besides being a homeschooling veteran, I also love to travel, quilt, organize spaces, read, bake, homestead, food storage, raise chickens, goats and bees, and much more. I just wish there were more hours in a day!

Some Kinda Arbitrary Things About Me 

  • I’ve been to all 50 states.
  • I’ve also been blessed to see much of the world.
  • I’m a certified scuba diver.
  • We have 1 dogs, about 15 peacocks, milking goats, geese, pigs, chickens, ducks, bees, tilapia and a bunch of other animals.
  • I’m a quilter and a bag maker. This is why I sometimes take long breaks from creating new resources, because they are my favorite things to do :)
  • I listen to books more than reading because I get more done that way. My favorite genre is classic British literature.
  • My favorite book is David Copperfield – but I love everything by Charles Dickens! I also love everything by Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell – and honestly by so many others!
  • I’m the 4th of 9 kids to awesome parents who were married for 58+ years. My dad passed away in August of 2019.
  • I’ve been married to my sweetheart for more than 30 years and, we are empty-nesters :)
  •  We have 3 boys and 3 girls… 5 of our own and 1 we raised for a friend of ours…but he is absolutely as much part of the family as any of the others.
