Anella has had many adventures in her years on this earth including working as a bicycle messenger in Montreal and Vancouver, teaching snowboarding in Whistler and tree planting in Northern BC and Alberta, but nothing can compare to the goodness of raising and home educating her children.
Anella welcomed her first son, Samuel, in June 2006; he attended her convocation ceremony at only 4 old. Since his birth Anella and her husband, Mike, have welcomed six more children through birth and adoption, with the youngest one arriving in 2014.
Anella and Mike have home educated their children from the beginning (with a brief stint in public school). The blessing of truly knowing the unique personalities of your children day in and day out is incomparable.
Anella has a heart for families and the challenges faced by home educating parents. She is truly blessed to be able to support families on their journey through these years.
Home educating her own children has been, and continues to be, one of the hardest and most rewarding things she has ever done. Through it all, the homeschool life has been the biggest and best blessing and adventure. She believes home education is a part of the very best life for families.
A couple of the mottos that have guided her through the hard times and the and good times are:
Homeschooling: it's good but it's hard; it's hard but it's good.
Don't push, don't compare, and don't hold back.
Anella lives with her husband, children, and a variety of animals just north of Grande Prairie, AB.
