Welcome to our new blog!

Hello! *insert involuntary double-hand wave* I am Mommy Penguin, aka Stephanie, and I’m crazy excited to welcome you to our new blog! We are Marine Engineers turned homeschoolers. My husband, Allen, was a chief engineer and port engineer in the Coast Guard, and I was a chief engineer on a tugboat in New York harbor. Now we wrangle our kiddos and make trade skill and Catholic homeschool printables!

Trade Skill Printables

We both strongly believe that trade skills are not reinforced enough in education. We are teaching our children to value the trades as highly as a “typical” four-year degree. In fact, we believe in it so much, we decided to start sharing our trade skill printables and activities with you!

Catholic Printables

We are Catholic, and so a lot of homeschooling includes Catholic material. We’ve separated out our strictly Catholic printables from the strictly trade skill printables, so you can easily find what you’re looking for.

At the end of the (long, homeschooling) day, this blog and this business are about YOU. So please introduce yourself in the comments! We can’t wait to get to know you. <3
