Returning to
childhood creative processes
by Lara Kehler, veteran homeschooler
 My experiences as a Home Schooled kid were amazing, motivational,
and have allowed me the passion to pursue the things I do today. I grew up on a mountain
15 minutes outside of Abbotsford, a town in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia. I
discovered my love of working with talented artists and writers. I received a diploma in
Structural Civil Engineering, and developed work experience as a Engineering Technologist.
But - - My dream? Produce a well designed magazine with its' entire content dedicated to
art and ideas of alternative learners around the world! Learn more about how I came
"full circle."

3 children: Cera 7, Joshua 5, and Isabella 1. We have been
homeschooling since Cera was born, but officially for 2 years. The kids are in soccer,
Brownies and Beavers. We have no definite structure to our "schooling". Hans
loves to get his hands on science stuff and is a Beaver leader. I love baking, cooking and
math.
