<div>Name: Jessica Shenefield<BR><BR>Other people in my family: Aaron (DH), Oscar (6), Ivan (2)<BR><BR>I live in: Snow Camp<BR><BR>I was born/grew up in: childhood was Alaska, youth was Arizona; have had stops in UT, WY, and CA.</div> <div><BR>Some things about me: I ramble and tangent. I'm trying to finish up my certification as an infant massage educator (with Infant Massage USA/IAIM-Sweden) as well as my national certification as a massage therapist so I can finally be licensed in NC (I haven't worked on a body since August, I'm afraid I won't remember anything *sheepish grin*). I'm debating what to work on next: aromatherapy or Happiest Baby certifcation. Would like to open a 'clinic' for pediatric massage, infant massage classes, baby sign language, and excercise classes for kiddos and families (and homeschoolers *wink*). I'm allergic to most fresh fruits and veggies and some processed versions of them; as well as most nuts and soy.
I'm a sedentary night-owl (with active morning children); previously worked retail and clerical/admin assist. I have to admit to being a sucker for Gossip Girl--wish it was on at 9pm so it didn't interfere with bedtime running over, need to figure out how to get the VCR to record on schedule. *wink* I found this list due to finding Dream and Discover (pick me! pick me! *lol*), which I found because of mothering.com. at least I think that's where i found dream and discover....</div> <div> </div> <div>Some things about our family: DH is pro-PS, I'm pro-HS. We have dueling ultimatums: I said it's not up for debate anymore until HE does his own research on HS, and he said that O is going to PS if he doesn't do seat work everyday. We like to go four-wheeling, watch racing and football (go Trojans). We're not basketball people. *lol* DH and I moved to NC Jan 2000, we retreated to family Dec 2005 so we could make mortgage and we
were able to return to our home this past August. DH is originally from CA, we met in AZ, NC is HOME. We use amblesideonline.org as our curricular framework, saxon for math, talking letters and phonics pathways for phonics. we're trying to get an organic/natural garden going with an eye for selling at the carrboro farmer's market in a season or two as part of our schooling. We're on 2.47 acres, part mud, part woods, with a creek through the back woods--y'all are welcome to play *grin*. We're not as AP/NL as we want, ought, or need to be, but we're trying to find our way back and progress further.<BR><BR>Some things about my kids: Oscar is my smokey campfire, he's got spunk to him but he tends to whine and grump a lot. I'm proud of what a good kid he is, especially given all the chaos of the last couple of years. Ivan is my nepalm-induced bonfire. Two speeds: go and go faster. *lol* He's a demolition man, will take
apart or tear apart just about anything he can access by any means and is fascinated with trying to figure things out. He's a sweet snuggler and very affectionate. Both are pretty chatty, but Ivan (I usually refer to him as IR online) is difficult to understand still. we're starting to work on enunciation and hopefully it'll clear up as quickly as it did with O.<BR></div> <div>chat soon!</div><p>
