Oct. 25, 2006 - There is just so much.....
To do and plan! I mean I stumble across all these wonderful resources and I want them all, LOL! I want to teach Trinity everything there is to learn, but there is only so much time in a school day, not to mention I also have two toddlers that will be homeschooling very soon too.
I guess I find the planning and finding fun and educational things to do the easy part, the hard part is motivating myself to teach her all she needs to know. I love teaching her all the things that are fun like crafts, Bible, art, etc. But teaching her launguage and math just seems so boring and a little overwhelming. That is when I feel the need to lean on God more.
Today I was shopping around United Arts of Education and I just found so much stuff, I had to hold back but I did not want to. I guess I just felt like most of it I didn't have time to use but wish I did!
Well that is all for now. Thanks for all the wonderful comments and support!
God Bless,
Heather

Oct. 24, 2006 - In All Honesty.....
Homeschooling was just kind of thrown on me.....I never really pictured myself actually homeschooling my daughter. I mean I had heard of homeschooling but I just disregarded the whole thing when I tried thinking about it.
It wasn't for me...I really just always thought bad things about homechooling.
But not now....I mean I still wrestle with the call God has placed on my life. It has truly been a stuggle for me, I have had to give up a lot when I started homeschooling. I really think God is using this whole situation to make me grow and be the person He created me to be. I also feel that whatever call He has on my daughters life requires a lot, and right now homeschooling is the ONLY option!
So here I am, kicking and screaming, but doing what I know God wants me to do because I am too stressed if I don't do what He says, and nothing will ever move forward if I am not obedient!
So honestly I did not want to homeschool. I have actually been throwing a fit about the whole situation for the past year, and my husband has been the primary teacher.
But now he has to work more hours because we need more money to start flowing into this house, and that means I have to step up to the plate and be the wife and mother that God has called me to be! This includes homeschooling. To be hoenst this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do out of obedience to God!
In all honesty.............I am just doing what I am told......
God Bless,
Heather

Oct. 24, 2006 - Hello!
Hello!
Welcome to my little blog about being a homeschool mom!
I am so excited to start this blog. This will basically be a place for me to write down my ideas on what I should do next in home schooling, vent, and whatever else comes to mind.
Blogging for me is just a way for me to get things off my mind! So I thought what a wonderful way to get all the home schooling thoughts off my mind and I can also provide tips and resources to other CSAHM homeschoolers!
Well I hope you enjoy my blog, and I look forward to writing some more!
God Bless,
Heather
