Ana is a woman who pours herself out for others! She runs her blog "They Call Me Blessed", that you can visit anytime... for great advice, and she sells many affordable products there, for organizing etc. for mothers/homeschooling You can also join her Homeschool Sisterhood membership, which we did last year, & it has so much going on each week! You can pick & choose from co-ops and books clubs, and opportunities for mothers to get together, for bible study, etc. She also runs various conferences. I have attended the Charlotte Mason one as well as her "For Such A Time As This". They were both excellent! I have been really encouraged by being a part of Ana's community as a homeschool mom and woman growing in my walk in the Lord.read more

Ana has been such a huge help to me in my home school journey. Homeschooling can be extremely overwhelming and time... consuming, especially in the beginning! Ana has provided so many tools that has simplified our days and taken such a load off what I have to do as a teacher for my kids. Not just that, but she has helped me with my spiritual journey as well. Providing simply, fun and encouraging tools that help me take care of myself and stay close to God. Thank you so much, Ana, for all you do!!read more

Ana has a beautiful heart and her laugh is contagious these are the extra perks of being apart of her blog family. What... drew me to her blog was to get homeschooling info and ideas, what has held me there is her evident passion and love for Christ. Through her blog I've grown an interest in bible journaling because of the artist side of journaling I have seen her demonstrate. Thank you for all your hard work to provide great resources for homeschooling and much more, and for the prayers!!! The praysers are an added blessing! �read more
