Two Work at Home Moms



Wendy and Shirley

We are two experienced homeschooling work at home moms, Wendy and Shirley, the authors of Footprints on Our Land and owners of this South African Homeschool Curriculum site.

We are graduates from UNISA and Rhodes University, respectively, and since 2002 we have been working together to encourage and equip other homeschooling parents as they educate their children and prepare them for adult life.

We have been homeschooling for more than 10 years and are raising 4 and 5 children each. We are both avid readers and love researching parenting and homeschooling and we bring you our collective expertise in these areas.

While homeschooling our own children, prior to 2002, we both realised we needed South African resources and that there was a general need for a home-grown literature-based curriculum in South Africa. When we discovered that we were both already working towards the same goal in 2002, Footprints on Our Land was born.

Creating a uniquely South African homeschool curriculum series has been an exciting and challenging project, which has enriched our lives and that of our children and now also the lives hundreds of other homeschooling families, both locally and abroad.

Our Footprints homeschooling products have been used in almost 15 countries, which means that families and from all around the world have recognized the value of teaching their children about South Africa using our materials.

Our products have also been used by two private schools, one in Cape Town, South Africa and one in the United States of America. An Australian school also wrote and commended us on our programme after an expatriate family showed them the materials their children had been using.

More and more home schooling families are enjoying South Africa’s rich heritage through the curriculum that has emerged from our collaboration and they are raising up children that desire to make a difference in their country’s future.

This website is a continuation of that vision to encourage and equip both South African families and families in other countries who choose a homeschooling lifestyle.

She considers a field and buys it...

(Proverbs 31:16)

Besides the homeschooling tips, curricula and advice we have to offer, we are also excited about a field of opportunity (Proverbs 31:16-18) that we are able to share with homeschooling moms, especially, but even some dads may wish to look into this.

We know that like us, many homeschooling families survive on one salary and that a second source of income would be most welcome. As the world is moving from the industrial age to the information era, it seems logical to look at opportunities to earn money in the info marketplace, the Internet.

Now, don't let the idea of technology scare you away. Remember, life-long learning is what we are trying to teach our kids, right?

Well, the most powerful lessons in life are caught and not taught!

We were both 'technological dummies' when we started site-building, but we have learned just the bare basics and already we are net-smart work at home moms! You are looking at what we have achieved!

YOU could learn to build a site about something that you know and love and before you know it, you too could be earning money that could boost your family income, help you to afford those longed-for educational products or reach other family dreams.

The product that we have used to build our sites (yes, we have 3 between us) is designed to teach you from scratch all you need to know to succeed on the Net, from choosing a profitable 'niche', to building a theme-based site that will get loads of visitors from the search engines (like Google and others) and how to 'monetise' your site so that it brings you a regular income - and much, much more.

You might be feeling a little skeptical right now and with all the scams out there, that's to be expected, but we can assure you, this is NOT a fly-by-night get-rich-quick scheme. (In fact, they offer you your money back if you find it's not for you.)

Site Build-It has hundreds of existing clients with verifiable proof of their sites' successes.

To give you a better feel for what SBI does for moms, like you and me, you can watch this short video...

To get an idea of how the system works, take the Quick tour or alternatively, read how you can also become one of the net-savvy work at home moms like us, who are still able to put the needs of our families first, while building successful online businesses!
