Welcome to LIFE by Ashley Pichea, where I invite you to join me in doing LIFE together – living intentionally by faith everyday – as I share my faith, my family, and my homeschooling adventures.

A little bit about me…
My Faith:
- I grew up in a Christian home.
- I was saved at the age of 3, but really started to walk with the Lord around the age of 8 when I rededicated my life to Christ.
- I’m currently seeking to grow daily in my walk with the Lord. Some days/weeks are better than others, but He is faithful to bring me ever closer to the image of His Son.
- I have been privileged to study at Cedarville University for two years, obtain an Associates of Biblical Studies from New Tribes Bible Institute, and complete my Bachelor’s of Biblical Studies and Master’s of Ministry via online courses from Baptist Bible College and Graduate School. The classes I took at each of these schools help me to better study and apply the Word of God.
My Family:
- J and I were married in May 2005.
- Jenny joined our family in January 2007. She is extremely advanced academically {was reading words at 2.5 years old} and has a love of learning. I started homeschooling her in the fall of 2009.
- David joined our family in September 2008. He is “all boy” and keeps me on my toes. A “momma’s boy” through and through, his cute factor helps keep me sane during the rough days. He’ll be joining the homeschooling fun in the fall of 2012.
My Homeschooling Adventures:
- Jenny {age 5}: We’ve declared Jenny to be “in Kindergarten” for the school 2011-2012 school year, though she is not technically “old enough”. She is doing Grade 1 workbooks from Horizons, and she is currently {March 2012} reading at a high 2nd grade reading level.
- David {age 3.5}: We are hoping/planning to start basic preschool learning with David this coming school year {2012-2013}. Unlike his sister who loves books and worksheets, David is a very hands-on learner and will need a totally different learning environment than Jenny.
- We are quite eclectic in our learning, especially as we have two very different learning styles and preferences. We are semi-unschooled as we try to use life lessons to build school lessons, and we are constantly on the look-out for new resources to enhance our learning together at home.
I pray that you will join me in doing LIFE together as we seek to honor and glorify God each and every day. Let’s live intentionally by faith everyday!!
