Work And Play, Day By Day: About Us

My name is Heidi and I am your friendly Work & Play, Day by Day blog author! I am married to Tim, a Montessori trained teacher currently pursuing his PhD in Educational Psychology. We are a Catholic homeschooling family of 6+ enjoying our time together and sharing it with all of our readers.

I have a background in education with a variety of experiences in teaching, directing, and training in early childhood programs. Birth to five has been my passion for many years now! I left the "professional" world in 2006 to focus my skills on my own family. In my spare time I enjoy taekwondo, gardening, fiber crafts, and the occasional freelance writing job.

I started this blog in 2008 as a way to document challenges we were having as a family regarding the education of our own children. I have come to share information and ideas on our homeschooling journey, family faith development, gluten free recipes and living, challenges of special needs parenting, and other household tidbits of information! I have met many amazing people on my blogging adventures and reconnected with old friends.

I enjoy hearing from readers and appreciate your comments and emails. I do my best to respond to all emails and requests for more information as quickly as possible. You can contact me using the following email address: heyhohideo (at) hotmail (dot) com
