Welcome to Sidetracked Moms–our site where Faith and I share our adventures as stay-at-home moms who also homeschool, and what life is like now that the Sloderbeck Family and the Janes Family have set up housekeeping as a multi-generational household.
Getting sidetracked is a normal occurrence around here and if you would like to find out what we mean by being sidetracked, be sure to check out our post on How to Be a Sidetracked Mom.
While our families made a choice to combine households because we wanted to live together permanently, we understand there are many who have to make this decision because of finances, health, and other reasons.
We did have a site called Back Home By Choice, but have decided to discontinue it and to meld the information we had on that site back into this one. Below are some of the helpful posts from that site that can be found by clicking on the links below.
