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 have 4 living children, and 1 living with God our Father in eternity. It is our desire to live a simple and responsible life that brings glory to God through our words and our actions. Our core values are faith, family, service, and respect.

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 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, and other household tidbits of information! I have met many amazing people on my blogging adventures and reconnected with old friends. In 2011, I started a second blog, Work, Play, Read to share my passion for family literacy in a focused setting.

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
