Hi. I’m Mariel (Pronounced mahr-eeee-elle). I’m a wife to an amazing man and finish carpenter (see Instagram hashtag #wangsgardconstruction) and a mother to 7 wonderful kiddos. I’m a homeschooler, but also have a few children in public school. I do what works for us! I’m a real believer in families and am a HUGE fan of my own, so that’s what ‘Or so she says…’ is all about… family. If you’re ever in need of a family recipe idea, a family vacation idea, a Family Home Evening idea, gift idea, family activity, etc., this is the place. Welcome!!
