Welcome to Homefires!
Hi! I'm Diane Flynn Keith,
Founder and Editor of Homefires. My husband and I experienced the profound joy of homeschooling
our sons in northern California from Kindergarten through High School. I've been coaching other
parents since 1992, have spent thousands of hours researching the best resources for homeschool
families, and created Homefires.com to share it all with you. I have a good idea of what works
and what doesn't when it comes to motivating kids to learn, and helping parents ease the frustration
and worry of homeschooling from preschool through high school. Bookmark this site, you'll want to
return often. :)
