Mermom and Me
Children’s book author/ New Mermom.
One of our life adventures began when I chose to travel and homeschool. I believe in the power of quality family time and experiential learning. I wanted to provide my kids with unique educational opportunities. One of the more memorable experiences we shared was snorkeling and SCUBA diving.
With a passion for exploring under the ocean and the variety of marine life to experience and learn about, we began our journey of discovery. I taught my daughter Jennifer to SCUBA dive when she was 8 years old. She was so excited to learn all about the equipment, and how it worked, what safety procedures to follow, and all the fish and marine life she would get to swim with and befriend. Although she was seriously afraid of sharks, she took to the water like a fish. She eventually overcame her fear of sharks with knowledge, experience and many dives spending time observing them and realising they were not there to eat her!
A big part of our homeschooling curriculum was studying and researching life in the ocean. Our boat we were living and traveling was stocked with microscopes, for observing all things small and lots and lots of books about fish, Shells, coral, and all creatures that live in the ocean. Jennifer developing a deep appreciation, and love for the ocean and scuba diving
As the years went by, Jennifer together with her mother continued to pursue her love for scuba diving with hundreds of amazing dives.
One day Jennifer met the man of her ocean dreams, who also was a SCUBA diver and he proposed marriage while scuba diving on a shark dive In the Bahamas.
The story of this homeschooling mother and her daughter serves as a reminder of the incredible impact parents can have on their children’s education. It demonstrates that through unconventional and hands-on learning experiences, children can develop a deep love for learning and acquire invaluable life skills that will stay with them forever and become a family treasure handed down for generations

Ocean and Reef conservation
Hey there, Mermaid friends! Let me explain to you why ocean and reef conservation is so important in a way that I hope is easy and fun for you.
You know, the ocean is like a big, beautiful home for many amazing creatures. It’s like an underwater city where fish, turtles, dolphins, and even colorful corals live. But just like we take care of our own homes, we need to take care of the ocean too.
Conserving the ocean and its reefs means protecting and preserving these homes for all the creatures that live there. It’s like being a superhero for the ocean! When we take care of the ocean, we make sure that all the animals have clean water to swim in and a safe place to live.

But that’s not all! The ocean and its reefs also help us in many ways. They give us oxygen to breathe, just like trees on land.
They also provide us with delicious seafood to eat and beautiful places to explore, like colorful coral reefs. We can even find important medicines in the ocean that help us stay healthy.
Unfortunately, the ocean and its reefs are facing some problems. Pollution, climate change, and overfishing are harming them. That’s why it’s so important for us to do our part in conserving them. We can help by picking up trash on the beach, using less plastic, and being kind to the creatures that live in the ocean.
By taking care of the ocean and its reefs, we can make sure that future generations, like you and your friends, can continue to enjoy the wonders of the sea. So let’s be superheroes for the ocean and protect it for all the creatures and for ourselves too!
