Welcome, Tweeps!

Thanks for clicking the link in my Twitter profile. I'm guessing that means you want to know more about me. I'm Kris, a forty-something, sweet-tea-addicted Christian wife and stay-at-home, homeschooling mom who has lost over 70 pounds since November 2009.

I live in the Southern United States with my husband and our three fantastic kids. In early 2011, I surprised myself more than anyone when I discovered a love of running. Who knew?

You can learn about me and our homeschooling style on my About page, including why we homeschool.  You may have clicked over after reading some of my tweets about running or my weight loss journey.  You can read more about that on my fitness blog, Eclipsed.

If you're curious about homeschooling, in general, be sure to check out my FAQ page. You might also want to take a peek into our homeschool and find out what curriculum resources we use.

What will you find at Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers?

• A glimpse into my faith with posts such as For Such a Time as This or Faith in Action
• How to's, such as how to make a salt dough map or a paper mache Earth
• A humorous look into our family's life
• Ideas that have worked for us, like Mom binders, chore charts or color-coordinated supply boxes
• The Weekly Wrap-Up, a chance to connect with other homeschooling families
• Homeschool Showcase, a bi-monthly carnival showcasing all the encouraging, inspiring, hands-on, and just plain fun ways that homeschooling families live, learn and enjoy life together.
