A little about me, the face behind Classical Exploration!
A little about myself... Amanda.
First and foremost, I love the Lord Jesus with all my heart, soul and mind.
Secondly, I am a wife and mother. My family is made up of 1 husband named Jacob, and three absolutely adorable, fun loving kiddos that happen to be triplets. Their names are Elijah, Ethan, and Isabella.
I am a homeschool mom that teaches classically with a strong hint of Charlotte Mason.
My background is in graphic design and brand management and I've owned my agency for 18 years. But when my kiddos arrived... ya know, all at once - that business took a back seat. When I began my homeschooling adventure I saw there were some materials that I wanted to put together myself - then there were other moms that thought that my materials might be good for their families too - so here I am with these resources for anyone that has need.
I sketch, paint and am always up for any sort of art project that doesn't include too much glitter or sticky goo like substances.
This project is my first that I'm selling on Etsy and it's super scary to put myself out there - but here I am and I hope that you'll find what I've created to be super helpful to your kiddos. My children have become accustomed to doing geography this way and at the young age of 7 can not only name their states and capitals, but they can free draw it all along with many of its physical features.
I love homeschooling for many reasons, of which is my ability to learn alongside my children... I do these lessons with them and gain so much insight in how children learn. And I am amazed and humbled at the process.
Things I love... smiling and laughing, games, quiet time (although I don't get much of that!), reading, drawing, painting, my morning coffee, candles, aromatherapy, listening to my children giggle, nature, exercise (especially while watching a good action movie!), my children playing with my hair, my husband (he's super cute) and my kids (which they're cute too!).
Things I don't love... complicated situations, cold coffee, being cold, a dirty house, lateness, the words "I can't find my shoes mom!", fighting kids, TV, tablets and smartphones that are abused, and listing things I don't love... ha!
