What are some of your favorite memories homeschooling? seeing the lightbulb go off in their head ; )
Will you homeschool thru highschool? Yes I think so
What are your worries about homeschooling? I dont really worrying about their learning with all the resources there is with internet and great libraries. I sometimes second guess if it is really a big deal if they are where others are at in their education. That is just peer pressure I think.. I know they arent stressed out kids like some of their public schooled friends and family. I know I'm not stressed out like those parents. I also know they are close siblings who do fight daily but love each other and would stand up for each other. I dont think they would be as close if they only saw each other at breakfast and dinner time.
What do you love the most about homeschooling? Freedom for sure. I know what they are being taught. And peers arent filling their heads full of things I do not believe in. When they are adults they can choose what they want to believe in but in my house they will be taught the BIBLE.
What is your favorite quotes? see my recent post.
What is your favorite Bible verse? Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it" Proverbs 22:6 I believe this with all my heart. It worked for me. I have sit in my greatgrandfathers lap as a small child and listened to him read the Bible like a storybook for me. He died in my mid teens but his example to me keep a hold in my heart.

Do you have anyone as an inspirtation in your homeschooling adventure? My Dad, he went to school only to 4th grade. He is from a family of 13 kids.
