Ms. Emms considers herself to be truly blessed to have been included in such an organization.

Here you can find articles and posts geared to helping single parents in their homeschooling ventures.

As a home schooling mother and freelance writer her life is hectic but then isn't that what life is supposed to be like? With many volunteer "jobs" this mom experiences life the only way possible, up close and personal! It is not unusual to find her working as a cabin leader at one summer camp before heading off to another for a month-long volunteer post as a cook. She takes Karate classes with her son while her youngest is a competitive gymnast.

Ms. Emms has a Print Journalism and an Interactive Multimedia diploma from Canadore College as well as a Small Business Management diploma from Mohawk College. Currently she is working on a Bachelor of Theology degree from Thorneloe University while she continues to write.
