▪️ About Me:

Hey there, lovely people! I’m Arlene—a book nerd, planner enthusiast, and seasoned homeschooler with ADHD-driven creativity and Dominican charm 🇩🇴. I transitioned from RN to WAHM years ago and now guide my kiddos through high school and middle school with a flexible, Waldorf-inspired approach. Grab your lukewarm drink, friends, and stay awhile… 📚🫖

✨Also, like no one reads these, so I’m basically talking to myself 🤔
