About Me

The Eccentric Homeschooler: I'm a quirky, introverted, wry, occasionally witty and compulsively sloppy homeschool mother of three brilliant little lunatics: Dodo, Scote, and UghaBugha. Our homeschool is a relaxed and eclectic mix of classical, montessori, and delight driven learning, with a focus on quality literature, hands on projects, maths, and logical thinking.
