    About Me: Hi, I'm a WAH/HSing mom of 2. We've been homeschooling since birth (or 10 school years). It's been a fun, not always smooth, ride. And I wouldn't have it any other way! When I remember to post *wink*, I'll share with you some of what's going on in our tiny little home. My Family: Hubby - Randy; Daughter - Amanda (she's 14); Son - Jake (he's 12).

    I am a consultant with Usborne Books at Home. I've been with Usborne for over 9 years now and love it!

    The Perception Personality Image Test

    Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...

    NBPC - The Daydreamer

    You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the colors around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You are a down-to-earth person who enjoys going with the flow.
