We are a family of Orthodox Jewish homeschoolers in Brooklyn, NY
Me: A former nomad, I’ve lived in five different states and seen about half the country. Having gone to nine different schools, I dropped out of an all-girls school at 16 and finished high school at home. Since my daughters were born, I decided to homeschool them as well. I also happen to be as politically liberal as the day is long.
Besides that, I love Law & Order reruns, Billy Joel, pretty much all things musical, and NYC, the greatest city in America.
Builder: My dear sweet husband, he is, as the name implies, a contractor. He is obsessed with the news and wants to get a major job. He’s sort of on-board with the whole homeschooling idea, but worries about what other people will think.
Thing 1 (born 11/06): My cute older daughter loves Sesame Street, Dr. Seuss, banshee yells and Animaniacs. Her favorite sentence: “Mommy, I love you.”
Thing 2 (born 9/08): My much-wanted younger daughter loves her exersaucer and gets into everything with her new crawling skills.
Queen Mom: My mom. She pops up every so often, bringing joy to her granddaughters and making the Builder nervous. She loves the idea of my homeschooling the girls.
