Homeschooling in Buffalo

We are homeschoolers in Buffalo NY, a friendly and great city. This blog starts one year after we began homeschooling and we plan to frequently document our homeschooling experiences going foward highlighting the joys and challenges we face. Our goal is to provide a self-paced, if not customized, education using our city environment as a classroom.

About Us

Liz: Buffalo, NY, United States; Liz is a homeschooling mom. Her career experience and professional certifications are in accounting and school business administration. When fibromyalgia ended her full-time career, Liz switched roles with her husband Tom and began staying home with her kids. Homeschooling and simple urban living have become her new mission. She seeks to spread the word about the educational benefits of homeschooling while highlighting that the simplicity and flexibility can be the answer to the many stresses that families face, including matters of health. Liz is especially grateful to her husband, Tom, who is a big help with homeschooling, housework and blogging.
