About Me:

Hi! My name is April. I live in Greenville County, South Carolina. I am a single parent with 4 daughters. My husband (Bill) of almost 10 years had lung cancer and died on Dec. 22, 2007. My oldest daughter is a sophomore in college at Anderson University (special education major), my second daughter is a freshman in college at North Greenville University (Psychology major with an emphasis on Christian Studies), my third daughter (who does not live with us now due to her mental illness) is a sophomore in high school and our baby is a second grader who turned 7 in August. I was a preschool teacher for 6 years when my older daughters were younger.

I homeschooled my three oldest daughters from Feb 2002 until August 2003 while we moved from Florida to South Carolina and got settled in. I continued to homeschooled my second daughter until August 2004 and then again last year (her senior year) due to a knee injury from cheerleading.

I started homeschooling my youngest in January of 2007. She was in a self contained special education class for kids with emotional disabilities. She suffers from severe separation anxiety due to PTSD. She is a very bright girl but I felt that she was not learning anything academic (and learning undesirable traits) in her class due to the behavior problems of the other students. Now that she has been home full time her behavior has done a complete turn around. Her therapist has even decided to cut her sessions back to once every two weeks. I am also much less stressed since she started homeschooling.

I love to sew, scrapbook, stamp, read, watch movies, organize (I know crazy!) and play with my girls.
