Every story begins at home. Ours started in the living room, where we decided to homeschool our children because it was the only option that gave us hope for their success. Homeschooling unfolded not just as an academic pursuit but a commitment to a life of growth, meaning, and well-being. A few months into this commitment, we realized that the ability to read, write, comprehend, and communicate well was key to our success. In short, literacy was the bedrock to succeeding in all the other subjects, in relating well to one another as a family, and navigating our lives with dignity within our community.  
In those early days, we found that literacy could transform our lives. It shaped the way we communicated, solved problems, and even navigated conflicts. Through storytelling, journaling, and intentional learning, we cultivated habits that nurtured personal growth, strengthened our relationships, and brought joy to everyday life. Literacy became a practice that grounded us and opened doors to possibilities we never imagined.  Every word, fairy tale, and narratives we read became a building block for our wellbeing.
