Homebodies Mission Statement:
   Homebodies is an online community dedicated to building stronger families by providing a network of resources, encouragement and support to empower parents who desire to invest more time at home.

Thanks so much for visiting Homebodies,

We're sure if you spend much time here at all, you start to feel like part of the family. And really, that's the reason why we're even doing this. For us, we've made a committment to not only see the family be preserved, but to prosper. We feel this effort is worth every ounce of our time, energy and sacrifice.

This the heartbeat of Homebodies. To help families stay strong through tough decisions. To offer support in times of distress. To laugh and share excitement when we see our children reach those precious milestones. To make each of us better spouses, parents and citizens.

We're glad to meet you...

God has blessed us as the new owners of Homebodies.org. We are very pleased to meet you. We recently assumed responsibility for the site from Cheryl Gochnauer on Jan. 1. Cheryl is the founder and originator of Homebodies. Look for Cheryl here on Homebodies, she's still around. She is a well-respected and sought after authority on living the Stay-At-Home lifestyle. We wouldn't likely be here if it weren't for Cheryl and her vision and ministry to parents trying to find a way home. We're textbook examples and sold out to the cause.

You'll find unparalled community and support here. You'll also find resources and articles on a wide variety of topics relevant to the Stay-At-Home lifestyle, written by those of the highest calibre and insight in their repective fields. We don't think you'll find a better site to help you and your journey home.

Meet the Casners...

We are very glad to be here. Homebodies is a labor of love for our family. At this point, it is a part-time effort for both my wife and myself. We're busy parents ourselves. Regi and I will celebrate eight years of marriage this year. We have three small children. Hannah (4), Lukas (2) and Allison (5 mos).

Regi came home 4 years ago from a career in the fitness industry. She is a certified Pilates/aerobics instructor and a personal trainer. She still teaches several Pilates and aerobics classes part time. She has recently been engrossed in a new knitting hobby. Regi is the moderator for the very busy Homebodies' message boards.

I am the webmaster for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), headquartered in Kansas City (www.fca.org). I also own a graphic design and web development company, Redlogic Communications, Inc. (www.redlogic.com). I am the technical arm of Homebodies.

We look forward to partnering with you as we strive to help provide support, encouragement and resources the parents around the globe who desire to invest more time in their famlies. Please let us know how we can serve you. Drop us a note. We'd love to hear from you.

Blessings to you and your family,

Mat and Regi Casner
