Katy Crumpton has been homeschooling her four boys for almost 12 years. She grew up 15 minutes from downtown Dallas and had never crossed paths with any homeschooler until she met her husband in college. She is a musician, teacher, wanderluster, reader, artist and always chasing "awe" for herself and her kids. She loves to take her family on long roadtrips that can last weeks, usually focusing on National Parks or bustling cities. This curiosity for anything and everything inspiring and wonderful has taken her family from coast to coast, experiencing the world as authentically as possible.
If your child is interested in joining her Homeschool Choir (for teens aged 12 and up), search for "Colorado Springs Homeschool Vocal Ensemble" on Facebook or Google to learn more! You can find her musings on Instagram at @katycrumpton or on Facebook. She used to have a blog you could access, but life got too crazy. New to Coloradofrom Texas, her family is always on the lookout for great Mexican food, but thinks it's a perfectly fine swap for mountain views, beautiful hiking, and no tornadoes. Katy hopes to inspire other homeschooling parents to follow their own path and not feel trapped in one thing forever. The desire to throw in the towel is an every-couple-of-months cycle for her, and no one ever feels like they are doing the very best anyway. So do what you can, right now, with what you have, and take a moment to be thankful.
