Hi,
I'm Ellen, and I homeschool my kids in Hudson WI, which puts us in the odd position of living in both Wisconsin and the Twin Cities' metro area, so we have a foot in both the Wisconsin and Minnesota homeschooling communities. I built this website to try to give the homeschooling community a better, more flexible tool for networking and homeschool support.
