Greetings & salutations!
Hi, I’m Cheri (aka Artsymom), and I’m so glad you could stop by.
I’m the voice, author, and creator of Artsymom’s Balancing Act, which I started years ago as a way to share my journey and network with others. I can often be found balancing, juggling, & dancing through life with my wacky monkeys (aka the kids)!
Fun Facts:
I am a homeschooling mom, a step-mom, a mormor (grandma), and a crazy cat lady. Our family is a little bit Yours, Mine, & Ours. We have 5 kids: our two sons (Ryan & Russell), my son (Nathan), his son (Calvin), and his daughter (Kierra).
We started on a homeschooling adventure with the two youngest boys a few years ago. Working on our family tree has become a favorite project of mine over recent years. It was something I started years ago and it kind of fell by the wayside but is now being incorporated into our homeschooling history lessons. I have always been fascinated by Genealogy and History, and this has been a great way to involve the family as well.
My husband refers to me as a crazy cat lady with our three cats. Someday I am hoping to also become a crazy chicken lady too. I love animals and would totally have an animal farm if I could.
A lover of books – my office space is also my library with wall to wall bookshelves.
A lifelong New Englander I grew up and lived in Northeastern Massachusetts before buying a home in Southwestern New Hampshire a few years ago. I have spent a lot of time traveling throughout all of the New England states with my family and there is still so much to explore. I love having easy access to the beaches, the lakes, and the mountains. It definitely satisfies my nature-loving side.
The Arts are a passion of mine – both Performance and Visual. I have spent the majority of my life involved in some form of the arts – music, theatre, dance, art. I love performing and working behind the scenes, creating and being involved with all aspects of a production from start to finish.
I have been embarking on my journey to a healthier, well-balanced lifestyle filled with fitness, delicious food, and plenty of laughter. Working on achieving my goals to become the best me that I can be and hoping to help you to do the same.
So, I hope you will join me on my continuing journey and share your stories with me as well.
