Hi! I’m Heather.

I am a homeschooling mother of four wild and little kiddos, and I blog over at Only

Passionate Curiosity. On my blog, I try to share a little bit of what our homeschool life is

like, all our triumphs and struggles. More than that, I try and share the things that are

working for us– free printables, a massive list of the free curriculum resources that we

have found online, and tips and tricks that make our life easier. I hope you stop by the blog

to check them out!

Enjoy the printable pack!
