Well...since you've decided to hang around, I suppose I'll tell you a little bit about myself. I am the proud wife of John Snyder for twenty-five years, and the mother of six wonderful children, Emily, Drew, Julie, and Peter - little Pat and little Robin are our saints in Heaven. My aunt, a Maryknoll sister, is likewise internet savvy (or has one of my cousins who is!), and you can see her 100th Birthday site here.

This year, I've begun homeschooling our third grader and our tenth grader - and am astounded at how wonderful this is! I've been greatly supported in this endeavor by my family, and also by the wonderful homeschooling ladies whom I've met through Catholocity, a site run and maintained by Bud McFarlane, Jr., a notable author. We've been using an eclectic mix of curriculums - our math from Math-U-See (which has done wonders for both kids), English from original sources (both kids love reading the classics), and some great books from Kolbe and Seton. I'm only sorry that I didn't consider homeschooling an option before!

In the nonce I am an e-mail junkie with the corresponding result of becoming an essayist. Who would have thought that this average student would have become a wordaholic! Enjoy!
