Hello and welcome to my corner of the internet! My name is Chery, and I'm delighted to have you here. I wear multiple hats in life: I am a devoted Christian, a homeschooling mom, a military spouse, a military mom, and a passionate content creator. I truly believe in the power of sharing experiences and knowledge to inspire and support others, which is why I have embarked on this journey of vlogging and blogging. As a homeschool mom, my faith plays a central role in my life and parenting. It guides my values, decisions, and the education I provide to my children. I find immense joy in witnessing their growth and development, both academically and spiritually, within the nurturing environment of our homeschool. It's a privilege to be able to tailor their education to their unique needs and interests while instilling a solid foundation in Christian values. Being a military spouse and a military mom has its own set of challenges and rewards. It requires flexibility, adaptability, and strength, as we navigate through frequent moves, deployments, and the uncertainties that come with military life. I have always had a passion for writing and storytelling, and this passion led me to establish lastminutehomeschool.com. This platform serves as a hub of information, resources, and inspiration for those who are considering or currently pursuing homeschooling. I strive to offer practical tips, curriculum recommendations, and personal anecdotes that will assist families in making informed decisions and finding success on their homeschooling journey. In 2018, I founded LastMinuteHomeschooler.com and now LastMinuteHomeschool.com, a platform dedicated to assisting families in their last-minute homeschooling decisions and providing them with the necessary tools to make their homeschooling experience a success. I understand the challenges that arise when faced with unexpected transitions and circumstances, and my goal is to ease the stress by offering guidance and encouragement. I invite you to join me as we navigate through life's adventures together. Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I hope you find inspiration, information, and a sense of belonging here. Feel free to explore my blog, watch my vlogs, and connect with me. I look forward to getting to know you and walking alongside you on this beautiful journey called life. Blessings, Chery
