Welcome to Mirandaj.Club
Once upon a time, there was an amazing girl who grew into a wonderful woman, a teacher that included Special Education (SPED) credentials, 4-H/FFA programming, ESOL guidance, community service, religious instruction, raising a daughter of her own and teaching her what she had learned…doing her best in caring for others, then came covid…and she left this side of reality.
MirandaJ.club was born from a child’s question, “Who will teach me now that Mommy’s gone?” and a grandmother’s promise to carry forward her daughter’s light. This space offers life skill lessons, and community support for families seeking hope, healing, and purpose.
Miranda was a faithful servant, who freely shared her time, talents, and resources, with the hope to leave the world a better place. Our family focus was on life skill development while learning by doing. Many of the projects and programs found here were ones she learned from participating in programs growing up and those she pursued and led as a young adult, and mother, raising her daughter on her own a small family farm.
