Welcome to Red Garage Door! I’m Jodi, a homeschool Mom, have a homeschooling website; likes: rollerskating, B flicks, long walks on the beach, museums, my family, eCommerce, juicing & my Vita-mix.

Red Garage Door is where I write about my path to better health and wellness. You may also find me writing about my websites, opinions, experiences, or anything that comes to mind. I am a planner nerd who likes juicing and smoothies. I hope to provide you with encouragement from my successes, laughter with my fails, and resources and tools to guide you in this lifestyle change.
