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...

I love summer!

Ahhhhh!  I FINALLY feel in "summer mode".  I love summer it's by far my favorite season - all be it way too short!!

This weekend our homeschooling group had our first annual camp out and it was SO much fun and SO relaxing and rejuvenating all at the same time.  Before the camp I wasn't in "summer mode" mostly because of all the rain we've been having but the clouds were pushed away for some much coveted sunshine and it turned out to be a wonderful, wonderful weekend!

Today I am using my new found restfulness for some much needed flower gardening.  Like I said with all the rain things have gotten way out of control out there.  It doesn't look like we'll have much of a vegetable garden (again because of too much rain already) but at least I'll have beautiful flowers to gaze on from the comfort of my summer lounge chair!

I reflect a lot during the summer months on our past homeschool year and some of the things I want to work on in the coming year.

I reflect I don't panic.

I find summer is a perfect time to observe the kids and really think upon what's important (and what's not). 

Of course lots of learning also happens during the summer months and truthfully it's much more what I wish my homeschool was throughout the year but I guess homeschool has it's "seasons" too.

Well I best return to the great outdoors while the sun is shining.  I hope wherever you are you are enjoying the crazy, lazy days of summer!
