A Little About Me


Hello, I'm Barbara, the founder of Homeroom At Home. Here's a little about me and a little more about H@H.

When my son was much smaller (he's an adult now) we spent many afternoons exploring local museums, natural parks, and zoos. I paid attention to the things he was interested in (US presidents and alligators, by example) and we would find ways to learn more together. My interest was sparked in these topics and in expanding his education horizon. This was the seed of H@H, although it wasn't until many years later that the pieces fell into place to support other parents in enhancing their children's academic paths. It has been an incredible experience and personal joy.

As for me, I enjoy traveling with my family... taking that curiosity on the road. Of course then, it is no surprise that I like to photograph and scrapbook those memories. With my husband, we delight in wine tasting, delicate chocolate, and quiet county roads. My children are a huge inspiration and together we explore the artistic world of poetry, performing arts, music and fine art... and we certainly love our family game nights!

#chronobomb game is lots of fun for both boys and girls. Build the course, set the time and crawl through without tripping the wire. These cousins played over and over again, challenging each other. Perfect indoor game for poor weather days. #rainydaygames #chronobombgame #indooractivities #indooractivity #stayactive #indoorfun #indoorfamilyfun #familygames

Inspired by a @ReadingRainbow episode on recycling, my daughter is making a bracelet out of this cardboard piece. It was so sweet to see her little face light up with an idea after I asked her to dispose of the cardboard. #recycledstuff #cardboardjewelry #readingrainbow
