About Us

We’re so flattered that you want to know about us here at Layers of Learning!  {blushing!}

The first thing you should know is that besides being homeschool moms, we’re sisters.  Michelle is big sis and Karen is little sis.  Here we are as little learners . . . we’ll just say, some years ago . . .

 . . . and then we went and grew up!  Can you tell who’s who?

 

Even as grown-ups, we’re still always learning . . . and now we’re teaching THIS CREW what we learn now too.

Between the two families we have ten terrific kids {insert proud mother grins here!}

Michelle, a homeschool mom for over eight years, teaches her six boys in North Idaho.  She has a bachelor’s degree in biology.  She runs, reads, obsesses about politics, has a mostly clean house most of the time, can’t grow a garden to save her life, is completely tone deaf, and is married to the best man ever to grace this earth.

 

Karen, a mother of four who has homeschooled her kids for six years, recently founded a charter school in her Utah city.  She has a bachelor’s degree in child development with an emphasis in education.  She loves crafts and cooking, is the queen of organization, teaches piano, has competed in the Long Bridge Swim twice (and beat two of her brothers), and is married to a 6’6″ tall, handsome, and hilariously funny man.

We are thrilled to be writing a series of unit studies and other educational materials that you can see on our catalog page.  We hope to get to know you too!  Leave us a comment or send us an e-mail . . . introduce yourself, ask us a question, or even let us feature your kids doing a cool learning project . . . we love to meet new friends along this crazy homeschooling adventure of ours.
