Homeschooling Is Life! - Ok all you Birders out there.....here is a challenge for ya!

• Mar. 29, 2006 - Ok all you Birders out there.....here is a challenge for ya!

Go check out this post! It's not even "Easter" yet and somebody left a pretty little egg on Jodi's deck. She can't seem to I.D. the little, er, um......unhatched thingy.

Can anybody guess what kind of egg it is? Go see the photo here.

This is the kind of thing that gets us "unschoolers" going. We like a challenge, especially one that just happens to .......happen! Unexpected events make for some great learning lessons. On the spot. Unplanned interruptions. Teachable Moments! Thats what I was searching for. Teachable moments.

Get out those bird books Mom!

Homeschooling is Life,

You are so fun. Your family is fun. Your children are inspirational. Please come teach us how to crochet. Teach us how to make wooden muskets. I think you need to open a summer camp for my kiddos. Okay, for me.

Not sure about the egg, but hummingbird is my shot in the dark guess.

About Me

Hi There!

Welcome to my blog.
How nice of you to drop in. What is this all about you say? Well, take a look and see.

Just like the plants springing forth we are following the Son, soaking up the living water and pulling the weeds. We can't wait to see what will bloom THIS growing season!

Oh, and just for fun, I will tell you a little about me, since that is what this space is for. :)

I am a mother of four lovely kids who are perfectly human in every way. They are sinful, selfish, loving, happy, grumpy, excited, capable, frustratable, (I know, that isn't a word but sometimes I make up my own) and sometimes contrite, and just like their parents. But they are ours and we think they are all keepers!

We have homeschooled them all since birth with the trial and error method. I think they all have "made the grade" and they are now 16, 13, 11 and 9 years old.

We're not experts, except in the area of making mistakes and living to tell about them and hopefully learn from them! We hope you will find some encouragement here as you read about the seasons of our life as a homeschooling family.
