I have been homeschooling for 4 years now. My husband and I have been married for 16yrs and have 4 kids between us. So far the only one that is homeschooled is my 14yr old - the 2 older ones are out of school and my youngest is still in public school :(
I was never in a position to homeschool before now, so I'm taking advantage of it and it's been wonderful. The freedom to teach my daughter what she needs, without having the bullying, nastiness and corruption that the school system offers, is incredible. What an experience!
Aside from being a wife and mother:
1) I graduated from Nursing school and am awaiting to take my exam to become a Registered Nurse.
2) My husband and I own Robert's Tree Service (which I do the accounting for).
3) I'm a crafty nut - love to crochet and make quilts.
So...when I'm going to be able to work outside the home, I'll never know, but we'll work it out. God has a plan for all of us!!
I look forward to serving you in your journey as a wife, mother, and homeschooler.

Brenda Gooden, President

Brenda is passionate about her family and homeschooling. Entering their 25th year of home education, she and
her husband Dan have graduated two of their four children and continue to educate their 13 & 15 year old girls. Married
34 years, the Gooden's own and operate Royal Plumbing Contractors and Florida Ragdoll Kittens. As some of
their grandchildren are beginning to homeschool, Brenda's determination to provide a supportive and active group
is stronger than ever for the next generation.
Many new or potential homeschool moms get discouraged by relatives or the community because they may not have any teaching experience or extended personal education. In my experience, the biggest factor in homeschooling success is dedication and determination. No matter how educated a person is, everyone has strengths and weaknesses. There are many options to help with areas that you may feel less confident teaching. No one knows or loves your children like you do. God has given us as parents, the privilege and awesome responsibility to train up our children and teach them His ways. That responsibility was given to us. I believe we will be held accountable for the choices we make. When we transfer that responsibility over to a system, do you really know what is being taught eight hours a day? Do you know the character and belief system of the people you entrust your children's education to? Who could possibly be more qualified to instill Godly knowledge & character into your children than you? This is the highest calling of parenthood in my opinion and far out weighs any other teaching accomplished in your day. YOU CAN DO THIS! We are here to support you.
