Truly Tracy Explorermom

About Explorermom; I am an easy-going, simplistic, poetry writing, genealogist, blogger, pinner, photographer, health conscious, nature lover! And, an Eclectic, Secular, Homeschooler!! I am also a proud single mom, and grandma!! My joy is writing and rambling about the utter joy of homeschooling and spending my days learning, and re-learning alongside my youngest son, Rootbeer, while always remember to take the road less traveled!! There may also be some of my other favorite things thrown in for good measure... Enjoy!
