About Me


Tracy Dennis I'm the mother of three of the most delightful kids ever to grace this earth! I know. I'm biased, but that's allowed :) I love learning and I want my kids to love it too - for life! That's why I'm documenting our ups, downs, highs, and lows as we plot a new educational path filled with wonder, relevance, and genuine growth. Hopefully, along the way we'll inspire others to do the same.
