Simple living is a very personal thing.  I know I don’t have to tell you that parenting is as well.  What life looks like at my house probably doesn’t look exactly like life at your house. There is no one-size fits all.

For that reason, I feel that an important part of my job as editor of Simple Kids is to hand-pick contributors who can expand the base of life experience and information offered here.

I’m honored to work with writers from a variety of backgrounds and with a range of experiences, expertise, and perspectives. Together, we blend to form a well-rounded blog.

  Amy Anderson writes at Let’s Explore, where she shares her family’s experiences creating, imagining, and playing together. Amy is a mother of two. You can read about her family’s homeschooling journey at Early Bird Homeschool.

  Jennifer Brownis our music reviewer, and is a stay at home mom to two energetic, fun little boys. She fancies finding music that connects her to the past & keeps her grounded in the present, and can often be found dancing the 5 pm (and most recently 2 am) hour away in her living room.
