My name is Dawn and I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mother with eight wonderful children. I married my husband and had my first child while in college. I graduated in 1990 with a B.A. in Russian; however, I realized that I wanted another child more than I wanted a career. I never imagined that we would be blessed with such a large family!

I taught myself web design because our homeschool support group and co-op classes needed websites. Our family moved and I handed the care and maintenance of those websites to other ladies within the organizations. It was one of the most difficult aspects of the move - those websites were my babies! I experienced many months of "web withdrawal," and then I discovered the joys of blogging. Although smaller in size, I once again had my own website and it wasn't long before I was gripped with the urge to play with the design.

What I didn't anticipate was that one just didn't seem to be enough! I have a passion for self-education; an obsession with clip art and photography; a love of web design; and a need to supplement our family's income.

My personal blog is entitled My Home Sweet Home.
