Jen is a homeschooling mom to 4 kiddos (3 boys and a girl). She has a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. She worked in the field for several years prior to having her own children. She started blogging as a way to be accountable to herself; it’s turned into so much more. She loves being able to share ideas and reviews (and sometimes giveaways) with all of you! She has benefited so much from other bloggers, and hopes that in some way she can do her part to pay it forward! They are studying US History this year and you can find more great resources on her blog! She blogs at Chestnut Grove Academy and has lots of reviews and other resources for babies through Elementary Ages! Thanks for reading!
Come back next week to see what new resources we have to share while we learn all about the letter B during the ABC’s of American History.
