Meeting Monday With Karyn from Teach Beside Me!

By At the Fence
Hello!!  I am Karyn (pronounced car-in). I am so happy to be a guest poster today at At the Fence!  I blog at Teach Beside Me- I hope you will stop by and visit sometime!


I grew up in South Florida but now live out west in Utah right at the edge of a mountain. I have three wonderful kids ages 8, 5 and 2.  I  am married to a therapist- and yes he does try to analyze me, but it works because sometimes I need it! 


I graduated from college with a degree in Homes Economics Education. I started out teaching Foods & Nutrition classes at a high school. I loved it, but when I had my first baby, I desperately wanted to stay home and just be a mom. I finished out the school year and have never gone back to teaching- except in my home. I now homeschool my kids and it is great!  I have been homeschooling them since the oldest was preschool age.  Homeschooling has been so wonderful for our family and I am so happy I made this choice.

A few things about me... 

I LOVE to cook, especially sweets!  Along with my homeschool blog, I also write a cooking blog called Things That Make You Say: "Mmmmm!" This has been a fun way to keep my family and friends updated on all of the recipes I try as well as a fun creative outlet for me. Here is a post spotlighting some favorite recipes: 9 Easy & Healthy Meals.


I really, really like to read. I blog about books A LOT. I read all the time and because of that my kids do, too. We go to the library regularly and stock up on massive amounts of books. A few posts on my blog that may interest you if you enjoy reading: Books for Young Readers, Homeschool Support: Books, The Burgess Animal Book For Children Reading Guide.

Mostly I love doing fun projects and crafts with my kids. I blog most of all about fun learning ideas and creative projects that we do together. We love learning in hands-on ways.  Here are a few examples of the fun we have with learning:

A few more things you will find on my blog:  I host a weekly link-up party called Share It Saturday where you can share your creative posts each week. I have a weekly guest post series called "Why Homeschool?" where people share their stories of homeschooling and why they made the choice. 

Glad to meet all of you "At the Fence"!

My Twinn Doll Review and Giveaway!

By At the Fence
 Hey Neighbors! This is the last day of the Fall Festival.  Sunday is a day off, and then Monday starts the Gift Basket Bonanza!  So I decided to make the last product a big one.  How many of you have heard of My Twinn ?  They are the most gorgeous dolls!  And the best part is, they can be made to look like your little girl.  I received a ready made doll for review.  She is so pretty.  Dressed for Fall too!  These dolls are so well made.  I am really impressed with the quality of My Twinn.  Not only do these dolls look like your daughter, they can even dress alike.  My Twinn is 23 in. tall.  Of course there are various accessories for your child to get to play with her new doll.  My Twinn also has baby dolls available.  What little girl would not want a My Twinn Doll? Isn't she pretty! When you custom order a doll, you will be asked to choose a skin color.  Send a picture of your child's face and describe any freckles or unique markings.  You also choose hair length
