About

Welcome to Milehimama.com!  This is an expansion of my longtime blog Mama Says, hosted by Blogger.

Get a cup of coffee and come join me as I relate life as a homeschooling mother of 8, freelance writer, and armchair politician.

Cast of Characters:

Milehimama: I was raised in and near the Mile Hi City, Denver, CO and it’s in my blood forever.  I’m a freelance writer as well as homeschool mom.

Daddy and Baby Alianna

Husband dear: We’ve been married for 12 years, and he’s an industrial instrument fitter.  That means he hooks up the gauges that tell you if the plant is going to blow.

Mr R making faces

Mr R: My oldest boy, 11 years old.  He has red hair and a temper to match.He was diagnosed as bipolar at age 6, and we treat his disorder without prescription drugs.  He aspires to be a naturalist, catching snakes and reptiles for a living and having his own show like Jeff Corwin or Steve Irwin.

Mr P 2009

Mr P: Just 13 months younger than his brother, he’s the most mature of the children.  Favorite things include computer games, hunting turtles, and hatching schemes to make money.  He was recently diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst after receiving a CT scan for an unrelated injury.

Miss E

Miss E: 8 years old, and the oldest girl, but she’s not a sissy.  Her hair is crazy and she has a zany personality to match!  She loves animals, especially dophins, horses, and dogs.  She reminds me of my older sister a lot!

Mr S: 7 years old and loves to tag along with whatever his brothers and sisters are doing.  He just made his first best friend.

Miss V: Just turned 5, and looking forward to school next year.  She’s my little nut brown girl – a brunette with gray eyes and a natural tan.  Her favorite thing is playing tea party.

Miss C helping with canning jars

Miss C: Our little redhead girl is 3 years old.  She’s a firecracker who keeps us on our toes.

mr-x-and-daddy-a-baptism

Mr X: Our little 2 year old has a head full of curly red hair.  He’s our little enigma – he has high blood pressure with no known cause and he doesn’t speak Update, he speaks in full sentences but his articulation is very low and he has few consonant sounds.  He definitely has lots of opinions and lots to say, though!

A was always a human being

Baby A: Our beautiful new baby girl!  She also has high blood pressure, again apparently without cause.
