if you were eavesdropping, you would have heard this tonight:

Me: no, I would never do that!

…I might nudge you or poke you, but never hit or push you.

Our first two weeks back to homeschool are complete.

The verdict?  It’s going to be a great year, I think.  But the driving to lessons just might kill me.

I’m going to be 40 in about 8 months.  There, I said it out loud.

I never thought I’d be a woman who cared about age, and I didn’t…until recently.  So, I’m going to be 40- and I started thinking about who I want to be.  If I had a list of things to accomplish- well, not . . . → Read More: Fabulousness- can I claim it?

My homeschool regret

I have been a homeschool mom for about 11 years now. Looking back, one of my big regrets is not finding one curriculum/program that I could work with- and sticking to it.  I have jumped around from program to program quite a bit, mostly trying to find something I could work with-as teacher/mom.  Sometimes, just enjoying . . . → Read More: My homeschool regret
