About us..

Welcome to the Academy!

We’re just another wacky homeschooling family. We’re very odd.. we spend time together, our kids and family life are foremost for us!

Who we are:

The Dad: Eric,40.. Mold Maker ( like for all those sippy cups, ball point pens, chapsticks, Axe shampoo bottles etc).

The Mom: Alison , 37 .. Homeschooling soccer mom by day…crazy bartender by night!

Kid #1 : Noah, 18.. working full time as an entry level machinist at the same shop as Eric.

Kid #2 : Declan 10.5..5th grade.. a newly moody tween!

Kid #3: Jadziah AKA Ziah, soon to be 9.. my princess!

Kid #4: Taejan 7 the worker man!

We live in the wonderful Berkshire Hills and we live to take advantage of the beauty around us. When the weather allows you’ll rarely find us indoors!

I am in the process of updating this blog’s usage, adding more resources and making it easier to navigate. This is now the welcome page, and you can navigate recent posts using the calendar of posts, the search mode or the recent posts on the right and left! Welcome to our little corner of the Blogsphere!

  1. Hey, Alison! I’m just wondering if we met at a homeschool convention last year…your name looks very familiar. My daughter and I attended several homeschool conventions for In the Hands of a Child…I have seen your posts on hoactalk and just had to find out!! Love the lapbook holders!! Vicki

  2. Hey, I have a quick question for ya. Kaden has taken an interest in spelling/reading lately. He can spell a handful of 2-3 letter words and recognizes a bunch more. As long as he’s showing interest I’d like to run with it. Can you recommend any homeschooling websites or anything that could help?

  3. Hi Alison,

    What math and language arts curriculum do you use for Declan?

    Thanks,
    Penny

  4. I was happy to discover your blog today. I was unable to find a contact link. I hope it’s OK that I’m contacting you through a public comment. I’ve developed an educational program for Windows called SpellQuizzer that helps children learn their spelling and vocabulary words without the battle that parents often have getting them to sit down and write them out while the parents dictate to them. The parent enters the child’s spelling words into the software making a sound recording of each word. Then the software helps the child practice his or her words. It really helped my children with their weekly spelling lists.

    I would appreciate your reviewing SpellQuizzer in Wayzley Academy. If you are interested in hosting a giveaway of a SpellQuizzer license I’d be happy to supply a free license to the winner. You can learn more about the program at http://www.SpellQuizzer.com. There’s a video demo you can watch at http://www.spellquizzer.com/SpellQuizzer-Demo.htm. Finally, there’s a page targeted to homeschooling families at http://www.spellquizzer.com/spelling-software-for-homeschoolers.htm. I’d be happy to send you a complimentary license for the software. Please let me know if you are interested.

    Incidentally, we have an affiliate program that might interest you. If you would like to earn money referring people to our site you can learn more about our affiliate program at http://www.spellquizzer.com/affiliate.htm.

    Thank you very much!
