Welcome! I’m Jamie, a former middle school teacher, creator of A Brown Bear’s Language Arts Study, and an author at You Are an Artist chalkpastel.com. I am a mother of eight, one with special needs, who fully understands the discouragement, overwhelming moments, and the endless messes homeschooling brings. At the same time, I have experienced the everlasting fruits of home education: learning alongside my children and close bonding. I have a passion for sharing wholesome literature and inspiring a deep love for God’s Word. This whimsical space is a reflection of our treasured moments. Charming snippets of graceful art, nourishing unit studies, and fascinating nature, take the heart of Treasuring the Tiny Moments Homeschool. Thank you for visiting.
