Hi there,
My name is Tamlin and I'm so excited to be a "newbie" to this great platform and hope to share some great content and stories, and also to enjoy the same from this community!
I live in sunny South Africa and am quite fortunate to live on a farm with my family and extended family. I grew up along the coast, in town, and after marrying my husband 10 years ago, we re-located a few years ago back to our family farm which was a big adjustment for a city girl! Needless to say, I adjusted pretty quickly and wouldn't trade being a farm girl, although I haven't been converted quite as far as to be churning my own butter!
One of the beauties of farm life are the huge open spaces, which is great for my 8-year-old son who most certainly isn't a "townie" but rather a true farmer!
For the last 6 years I have worked for an online school and joined the company a couple of months after they launched. It has been a roller-coaster ride with many ups and downs, mostly ups. I have assisted in building online platforms and have had the pleasure of helping many families in need of alternative schooling. Homeschooling is a pretty newish concept in South Africa, but is gaining momentum rapidly as our schooling system here is not of a good standard.
I am passionate about making a difference in peoples lives, even in the smallest way, and have a positive outlook on life in general.
Thanks for taking the time to let me introduce myself and look forward to many happy hours of reading and sharing!
This is me!
