Seven Years

…of Sarah Beth! Like my mother-in-law often asks, “Just what did you do before having children?” In a way, I do feel like my life really began after having my kiddos. My children have certainly added such joy and depth to my life…and they have introduced me to a totally different way of [...]

I Will Praise Him…

Kids, Cousins, and Photo Fun

I’ve been meaning to share some cute photos from my brother Johnny’s birthday party. I’m so glad I remembered to take my camera this time. I had fun, and I got some great snapshots of the kiddos and their cousins. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Here’s one of the play rooms at Uncle Johnny and Aunt Brenda’s. They [...]

Cute Canines

Well, I need my dose of cuteness today. Actually, I’m feeling tons better than I did yesterday, and I thank the Lord for it! You see, Sunday night, I woke up in middle of night with a migraine headache. Then I was vomiting Mon. morning and just couldn’t seem to get rid of [...]

Profile

About Me:
I'm a 36 year old homeschooling mom who is trying to keep a sense of humor and my sanity, while homeschooling my kids. I am also trying to stay in step with my Lord, so that I will lead my children in the right path.
How Long have you homeschooled?
2 years
What ages are your children?
6 and 4
What Homeschool theory do you ascribe to?
Eclectic. Don't believe in totally "unschooling," but I do agree that kids are learning all the time, even without formal instruction. However, I believe in lots of reading and finding areas of strengths, as well as discovering the kid's learning styles and my teaching style.
What is your primary goal in Homeschooling your kids?
Instill Christian values and morals. Teaching the kids how to think independently and to not be afraid to go against the norm. I also want to teach the kids how to think creatively and to use their imaginations.
What is your greatest challenge with Homeschooling?
Need a break here and there from my kids! Also, the budget is EXTREMELY TIGHT!

Thanks Janet - your prayers are MUCH appreciated! No one really knows what this means yet, though HSLDA has issued us an email calling it an unfortunate decision yet telling us:

"We do want to make one point clear, however. Nothing has changed in California regarding your homeschool. HSLDA maintains that the advice we give homeschool families is accurate and that filing a private school affidavit, or enrollment in a private school independent study program (I.S.P) is a valid option under the law in California."

We'll just have to wait and see - but this was quite a wake-up call!

Janet-
I was checking out your blog tonight and my 4 year old daughter saw your photos on the side bar. She saw your family photo and said your husband looked like her Daddy. I just had to share that with you. Take care.

Hi Janet-
Thanks for the great comment! I'm glad you like my blog. It's fun, and gives me an outlet to share, without forcing people to listen to me. Lol.
Take care,
Frances
