Hi, my name is Beth and I----am a homeschool blogger. I started a few short weeks ago and now, I just can't stop. There is just so much to read and so little time. So much knowledge to gain, not enough brain cells to retain it all(at least not in my head!). Although I am a tad addicted, I realize that the encouragement is worth it! For what it is worth, I came on to the HomeschoolBlogger site quite hesitantly. It's a whole new world to me, and being the utterly hopeless computer illiterate that I am, I have surprised myself. All I wanted to do was write, then I realized there is a whole community of sisters out there who truly want what is right and good for their families. And not only for their families, but also for the families of others who have gained hope, encouragement and help on their own homeschooling journeys. With that said, I wanted to share the top ten things I have discovered by joining the homeschool blogging community.
1.)You don't have to be perfect to successfully homeschool!
2.)You don't have to be a supermom to successfully homeschool!
3.) There are actually women out there who are just like me. What a thought!!
4.) If a woman with ten children can do it, I can do it!!
5.) If a woman with eight children can do it, I can do it!!
6.) If a woman with six children can do it, I can do it!!
7.) If a woman with...well you know.
8.) A little bit of encouragement goes a long way!
9.) Alot of laughter goes a VERY LONG way!
10.) Probably the most important thing I have learned is that I can be the woman, wife, mother, and friend that God wants me to be.
I learned this and more by plugging in to an exciting, heart and home site for women homeschooling everywhere! Thank you, and I will continue attending the HSBA meetings as I do not intend on giving up my "addiction" anytime soon!;-)

"Your help with "The Siege of Western Civilization" really made a difference.

That DVD has become a hit, and we continue to get orders from parents who are home-schooling their children. And, as you know, we even managed to do some advertising in the magazine."

Happy 4th.. a lil late  by Sami
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We did. :) My Aunt and her family came in on Wensday, and yesterday they were able to go with us to our friends house for a big celebration. We had a huge water balloon fight, lot's of fireworks and food. :P Levi actually liked the fireworks. I thought for sure he'd be scared of them. Guess not! lol. You'll never guess what I did day before yesterday. I wrecked our car. Ok, so not WRECKED but I did break something on it. The whole back windshield. I ran into the mailbox! lol. The (more)
Happy Birthday to my MIL  by cturner
      Hapy Birthday to this wonderful woman. Many years ago, she took me under her wing and treated me just like one of her own. Little did she know I would later become just that.  She has been a Godly example through the years, a definite prayer warrior, and an all around Proverbs 31 woman. Her children and their spouses "rise up and call her blessed"- hows that for a legacy? So...... Happy Birthday Ma! Have a wonderful Day!!!!!!! ps. The other young lady is way special too.......:)  (more)
In the shadow...  by Eli & Bria's Mama
Keep me as the Apple of your Eye, Hide me in the Shadow of your Wings.  Psalm 17:8   This has been such an important verse to me and my family for the last few months.  We have truly been walking "through the fire" in so many areas of our lives.  Through it all, however, we have had constant reminders that the Lord is keeping us firmly in the shadow of His wings.  He is upholding us and teaching us in the midst of the storm as He has always promised to do.    We have settled into our new "temporary" home in (more)

The Star Spangled Banner  by cindahomaker
For the 4th of July we were pretty busy with some practical things our new neighbors needed a little help and encouragement and the kids and I were busy with that while dad was trying to rest after a very heavy work week. Later in the afternoon we did our reading time and again in the evening. We have a nice cozy set up in the girls room and a tape player there that we used to listen to a reading of the Star Spangled Banner. It was lovely. I never remember dwelling on all the stanzas. We discussed the meaning (more)
Fireworks  by Courtney
I heard about the new fireworks display they just started at the Village ( a new massive mall area) just yesterday morning and was so relieved that we could go to fireworks just two miles down the road instead of traveling to the Army base 20 miles away and sitting in traffic for two hours. Yah!  So, we went to the Village and the parking lot we chose to park in was maybe only a third full. I guess not that many people had heard about it yet. I'm sure next year it will be packed though, as these fireworks (more)

Fourth of July  by JennyMaine
Yesterday was perfect weather here in Maine to celebrate the 4th of July.  This was a nice treat after weeks of rain! We enjoyed the day and had a cookout in the evening.  It was so nice to eat in the screenhouse and watch the hummingbirds and finches at my mom's bird feeders.  The kids enjoyed lighting off sparklers,  and we watched the fireworks with the Boston Pops with my mom. Here are a few pics.  I love the Happy Bunny t-shirt.  (more)

Nature Friend magazine  by Wayne
     Nature Friend edited by Kevin Shank (reading level: ages 6-12): Most children really enjoy glossy paged, colorful, well illustrated nature magazines that provide information on animals, plants, and other wonders of our amazing earth. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the popular magazines of this sort either specifically teach evolution or, perhaps worse, are subtly based on evolutionary presumptions. What are parents who want their children to revere God's word and learn science from a creationist worldview to do? Enter Nature Friend magazine! Published by Dogwood Ridge Outdoors of Dayton, VA, this wonderful magazine, which is now in its 26th (more)
I Lufs You  by fiveeitniears@verizon.net
I was sitting on the couch this morning with my 20 month old daughter at my side. She was leaning against me and laid her head on my lap and for the first time she voluntarily said "I lufs you". My heart melted! We then exchanged a few "I love you's" and of course then I had to tickle her to pieces to hear her beautiful laugh!  (more)
