Jessica Anderson’s story

Jessica is the mom of three boys. She is living in all stages of homeschooling: a high schooler, an almost-middle-schooler, and an elementary-aged child.

Vicki, Sabrina, and Kym met Jessica at their beloved 2:1 Conference when the elementary-aged son was in a baby carriage. We have warm memories of our 7Sister Kym on hands and knees chatting with the baby!

In fact, perfect might be boring for year after year.

The Messy Middle

Jessica and her family have navigated a lot of changes and chaos in their world. Jessica calls these years the Messy Middle.

The Messy Middle is all part of the process of it all!
