I'm Shannon, a writer, wife and mother of two. I love to travel and road trips are my passion. I am also passionate about homeschooling and personal growth.
Since you've found your way to my web site, you might have an interest in topics like:
- traveling with family and exploring the history of America
- raising and schooling independent thinking children
- being the best role model possible for your children
- living with mindfulness and purpose and continually moving forward
These are the ideas I write about, share information about, and am passionate about. My goal is to drive through all 50 states in America and write about my adventures at 100 Routes Across America. I also blog at The Discipline Project where I challenge myself to put my "big rocks" first.
{ Personal }
I'm a seeker. I love change and always have a goal to work toward. I love to blog, scrapbook, travel, ski, play board games and video games, watch movies, and eat out. I’m obsessively organized, and I enjoy cleaning my house as a stress-relief mechanism. I am a libertarian individualist in favor of capitalism, hands-off government, and the separation of school and state.
My kids have been homeschooled since birth. I believe that homeschooling is not "school at home," but encouraging children to learn through life, at all times, and to take the time to find their passions. We are involved in three homeschool groups: A social/support group that I co-founded in 2002; a co-op that meets weekly and for which I serve as a Board member; and another co-op that started in 2010.
{ Bio }
In addition to 100 Routes Across America and The Discipline Project, I also blog at The Homeschool Post. While these blogs are relatively new, I’ve been blogging under various persona (PHAT Mommy, Homeschool Hacks, Mom Improvement) since early 2005.
I have more than 15 years experience in writing, web design, and internet marketing. I've designed numerous web sites, built and promoted email newsletters, created and written for several blogs, and been active in many social media communities. My experience includes...
- Created FitnessLink, an online fitness information magazine, in 1996 and served as Editor and Web Designer. FitnessLink was sold to a web content portal in August 2000.
- Co-authored The Complete Idiot's Guide to Online Health and Fitness (Macmillan, 1999) and wrote numerous feature articles for newspapers and fitness magazines.
- Presented at several health and fitness conferences in the early 2000's, speaking about marketing yourself online as a fitness professional.
- Started blogging in 2005 and became an active member of the parenting blogging community.
- Was a featured speaker on "Blogging as a Homeschooling Tool" at the 2009 BlogHer conference and "Creating a Vision Board For Your Blog" at the 2011 BlogHer conference.
I would love to work with you on travel and/or homeschooling writing projects. Contact me at shannonentin@gmail.com.
