Robin Egerton
Robin is new to the free-lance scene. She started her homeschooling blog in January of 2010, walking "Newbies" through the beginning process of the homeschool journey. She herself has been homeschooling her own five children for over fifteen years.
Robin has raised 2 of her children from infancy, and was a licensed day-care home provider. During this period of time she was instrumental in bringing CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) to her area, using her clerical skills in the position of Acting Executive Director. Not only does she have parenting experience with young children, she is currently a stay-at-home mom for 4 teens! Besides general parenting, Robin has extensive experience in fostering and adopting. After several years as a foster parent, Robin and her husband adopted three children. A few years later, they went to Russia to bring home two more.
Upon moving to the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas, Robin and her family began a homesteading project. She learned to raise chickens, sheep and dogs. After growing extensive gardens and planting an orchard, the produce is canned and added to the food storage pantry to this day. When life with teens became extraordinarily hectic, Robin began putting her canning energy into preparing her own convenience foods.
In addition to all of her other activites as a homemaker and mother, she is active in her church, working with Boy Scouts and teaching the Scriptures to teenagers. In her spare time, Robin is a full-time college student, working on a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Arts.
Robin's hobbies are knitting, crocheting, genealogy and she will soon be joining the world of amateur photography. She will be sharing a variety of knowledge and experience with Suite101 readers.
