I'm Diane Hopkins, mom of 7 children and in my 25th year of the wonderful adventure of homeschooling! I now have 8 grandchildren, too—so fun! I love living in the country, growing my garden, cooking naturally, and focusing on my family. I'm the author of Happy Phonics, a national award-winning phonics program, and several other homeschool books. I also design modest swimsuits (see below). I'm passionate about the subject of educating kids in a fun and loving way!
