Carisa Hinson

1+1+1=1

Carisa, a former public school Kindergarten teacher, NEVER thought she would ever homeschool her children! She and her husband Frank began homeschooling out of necessity, for several different reasons. Homeschooling began when her oldest son was in Pre K, although she did not fully embrace it until about midway through Kindergarten, which is about when she began her blog, 1+1+1=1! Slowly, God's plan for their family became their passion also. They absolutely LOVE homeschooling now and although they follow the 'one year at a time -- one kid at a time' plan, they hope to homeschool all three of their children through graduation! They feel so blessed in so many ways and are thankful God has taken them down this path!

Carisa and her husband have three children - a ten year old daughter, thirteen year old son, and seventeen year old son.
