Bente Rodriguez is the mother of fifteen amazing children ages 27 to six. When she and her husband, Todd, first started their family, they never even thought of homeschooling; but as their oldest son was getting ready to enter kindergarten, they decided to give it a try (after all, how can you mess up a kindergartener?). A bit overwhelmed at first, they took it year by year, and before long, realized they were in for the long haul. They've been schooling their children for 21 years and have at least twelve more to go! She and her husband have three married children, five grandchildren, four returned missionaries, two current missionaries, two college kids (BYU-Provo), two college graduates (SVU) and eight still at home. She is a lover of simplicity, learning, reading, working on home construction projects, being outside, milking her cow and, most of all, her family!
