Savings, Crow, a Foot and hopefully Chocolate Chip Cookies

July 5, 2010 Katrina RyderFull of Fruit

This is my mom. She is the smartest woman on the planet.

About me

Hi! I'm Katrina. I'm married to an elementary school music teacher and am mom to three crazy kids. Formerly a high school teacher and missionary, I now stay home and give myself pedicures and eat bon-bons, while never avoiding sarcasm. Actually, I homeschool two of my three kids, substitute teach, and work seasonally at a farm. These days my blog is mostly a venue for information about my homeschool classes, but you can find all kinds of fun old posts about faith, finances, food, and family. I also have archives of The Poorganic Life food blog and You Go Girl! Bible studies. I love Jesus, my family, libraries, audiobooks, Harry Potter, hip-hop dance, gardening, Hamilton, and eating crusty bread. I am available for freelance editing and speaking engagements.

Where’s the one about . . .?
