About Me

I'm a christian and a wife and a mother of 2 boys whom we've always homeschooled. We live on 6 acres and Dad works from home. Homeschooling provides us our dream lifestyle. Our philosophy is relaxed, eclectic homeschooling, better known as "If it works do it, if it doesn't work stop doing it." I love to hear about what works for others and I love to share what works for us. Welcome to our adventures!

If I had a blog...
May. 5, 2008
A blog update or rather an update about my blog!

I love my blog! 

I love having a place to journal our daily homeschooing happenings.  I love that family and friends can read it and can feel "caught up" in our daily lives.  I love that I don't have to "remember" to tell them things and I love that they know "what we do" and "how we homeschool".  I love that they feel and tell me that I'm doing a good job and that they think the kids are getting a good and fun education.  I love seeing the pictures of my kids as they are learning.  I love that when it's time for our facilitator visit that it's as easy as going back through my entries and typing up a little synopsis of what we've done that I can share with her and it's enough to get us chatting and discussing all the wonderful things we've done throughout the year and will be doing next year. 

Yup I love my blog!

But (you knew there was going to be a but didn't you).....

I want to do more!

All of the above is a very selfish (although great) reason to have a blog, but I want to bless other homeschoolers as well (as they have blessed me).

I want to share others blogs that touch me, that provide me with thoughts and ideas and resources, that encourage me in my homeschool journey!

I want to share more of my thoughts, philosophies, resources and ideas with others in hopes that they can glean something from them and help in their homeschool journey.

I want to encourage others!  We are doing SUCH an important work.  An important work that in the day to day can go unnoticed, unappreciated, and unacknowledged.  And the ones that REALLY know what we do and go through on a daily basis is other homeschool parents.  Let us encourage one another!  And there are so many wonderful bloggers out there that do this in a tremendous way ....I want to be one of them!

I want to share, share and share some more!

So in that vein I want to hear from you!

What do you LOVE about blogs....is it the encouragement?  The ideas and resources?  The "stories"?  PLEASE leave me a comment about what you need/want or love in a blog!

In the upcoming months you will be seeing new things on my blog and I hope that some of what I share blesses you, helps you, makes you laugh, makes you cry, touches you.  My hope is that you come daily to be fed, so that you may fight the good fight, so that inturn you will bless others in your homeschooling journey (and on your blog).

Yup, I'm going to love my new blog too!

I love your blog, I always come away with a feeling of encouragement and kinship.
I think the thing I most like about blog reading is reading about other women's experiences and knowing I am not alone in the world, my struggles and joys are shared by others and I love connecting with women this way.
Have a wonderful week Lori, you are always in my thoughts and prayers.
