Hello, my name is Anna and I am a passionate and dedicated stay at home mum to my two beautiful children, a 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son. I live in Tasmania on our three acre property which is a mix of bush and native garden. I am an emerging veggie gardener, avid chook lady and lover of horses and ponies. I am passionate about health and am constantly working on how to create and maintain a healthy environment for myself and my family. I love to be outside, especially in the early morning and at twilight time. The golden light in the evenings in Tasmania holds a special place in my heart and nostalgia from my childhood. I am learning to be an open water swimmer, I enjoy walking in the bush, horse riding, Iyengar yoga and time with beautiful freinds. I love to cook and feel great fulfillment from providing my family with nourishing, organic meals made from whole foods, especially when the food comes from my own garden!
I was fortunate to grow up in Tasmania and my childhood involved lots of time outside riding horses, playing and generally being in nature. Both of my parents have a strong interest in the natural world and they passed this interest and connection onto my sister and I through the care of our animals and property, camping trips, bushwalks and the occasional whale stranding or trip to Albatross Island for a week-long immersive experience amongst the sea birds.
After school I studied Agricultural Science, worked for a year conducting research trials on sheep and then took off overseas to work with horses which I was just itching to do. In the following two years I studied, travelled a lot (including a trip to Antarctica with my family) and worked in different parts of Europe and North America. At the end of my travels as I was working on a thoroughbred farm in the heat eating flies, I realised that this wasn’t for me and I wanted to do something really meaningful. So, I studied to be a teacher and worked as a teacher for six and a half years.
Now, I absolutely cherish being a mother and as I embark on our homeschooling journey I wish to share my knowledge with other parents and teachers who feel like they would like some guidance in teaching their children the foundations of literacy and maths.
