Hello all,

I am a mother of five ranging in ages from 12 years to 6 months old in Southern CA. We live in a smallish 3 bedroom apartment in a small community 45 minutes from Temecula wine country. My husband is a part-time electronics salesman at our local Sears. He would love more hours, but there are none extra to give.

I homeschool my oldest daughters (my 6th and 7th graders), my 7 year old skipped a grade and is in 3rd grade at the local public school. My 2 year old son is working on his speech (he's a little delayed language wise) and my 6 month old daughter is happily working on crawling.

Nice to meet you, Melissa! Welcome to our little corner of the Internet.

We lived in Escondido about 10 years or so ago. It was a beautiful part of California.

Welcome! Hope you enjoy the community here.
