  • 123. Take Care of You, So You Can Take Care of Them

    Who are we? I’m Melisa! A mom of five children with only two left at home. I’ve been a wife, an ex-wife and a wife again. Two of my children have spectrum struggles. My oldest has ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and my youngest has SPD (sensory processing disorder). NEVER a dull moment in the Nielsen house. I am a stroke survivor and I love my life. I love to watercolor paint, knit and embroider and have a quiet afternoon with my family.

    About 14 years ago I took my study of Steiner and put it to work with other families in our series of curriculum "A Journey through Waldorf Homeschooling" and our business has grown from there.

    Erik here! I'm a husband, father, entrepreneur, videographer and content creator, editor and teacher. Melisa and I decided to take a leap of faith years ago when I quit my newspaper job to pursue building Waldorf Essentials. It’s a decision we've never regretted. We are constantly bolstered by the kind words of clients whom we have helped over the years.

  • 122. Slow Down! In your parenting and in your homeschooling.

    Melisa receives an abundance of messages from fellow parents and homeschool parents.

    She wants to encourage you to slow down.

    She's been there, felt what you are feeling and it can feel like slowing down is not the answer to your question.

    But it just might be, try it, slow down and see how your moment changes, your day changes, your week changes, your month changes, and most importantly your life changes.
