Hello fellow readers of the Mom’s Resource Blog!

I’d like to introduce myself.  I am Mimi Klosterman and I am one of Kelly’s newest intern for the Mom’s Resource Blog.

Family

I’m a wife to Michael of 15 years and a homeschooling mother to seven children – ages 4 to 14.  We have 4 boys and 3 girls.  Our family moved to South Dakota from California 7 years ago.  Since my husband was raised in South Dakota, we thought it would be a better place to raise our children.  Now, we live out in the country where our kids can roam around!

Background

After college, I worked at IBM/Lockheed Martin for 10 years as a software tester/installer/systems programmer.   My husband and I were able to raise three kids without any daycare by adjusting our work schedules.  When I was pregnant with the fourth child, I came home to be a full time mother.

We felt God calling us to home educate our children.  It has been a great journey so far and we feel like we have a closer relationship with our kids.

I am involved with a lot of our children’s activities like teaching homeschool co-op classes, helping our kids learn to make money by running small businesses, coordinate events and perform administrative duties for non-profit organizations.  Digital scrapbooking is something I enjoy but don’t have the time to devote to it like I want.

Recently, I started a virtual assistant business to utilize my skills and supplement our income.

Blogging

I’ve never blogged before so when Kelly announced her blogging internship, I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn.  Thanks to Kelly for giving up some of her valuable time to teach other moms blogging techniques.  Since she had mom-related blogs, I thought I had enough adventures with my children that I could share my experiences.  This year is my year to step out of my comfort zone!
