Blogger & mother to five

Hello there! My name is shenaede and I am a mother to five children and am a 2nd generation homeschooler, my passion is encouraging other mothers to not only survive motherhood as is so often thrown about on social media but to thrive and truly enjoy your days raising your children! Motherhood is my career! I belive it is the true source of joy and while it takes a very humble position in society, it by no way means that it isn't the most productive and joyful vocation any woman could have!
