// I'm Kylie, homeschool mum of three kiddos, since 2007. Being a homeschool parent has been of the best experiences of my life. We are very much an eclectic homeschool and pick and choose from all manner of styles, methods and curriculum options. Even though we do use homeschool curriculum we are also very relaxed in our approach. I am super excited to be joining the home education community here on YouTube. I am so glad you're here and can't wait to get to know you all better!
