I am a Stay-at-Home-Mom who homeschools in Houston, Texas. I just moved here from Sacramento, California to be close to family and get away from the financial collapse happening on the West Coast. My interests include education, politics, cooking, philosophy, neurobiology, psychology, and cleaning/decorating/organizing spaces. My non-lawful husband Joel and I are raising a wild, adorable little girl named Kylie.

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." ~ Albert Einstein
"Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. One great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits and trifle away their time insipidly is, because they find their curiosity balked, and their inquiries neglected." ~ John Locke
"Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly." ~ Arnold Edinborough
"Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance." ~ William Wirt
"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of the young mind for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards." ~ Anatole France
