Heather say's it all so well...

...homeschooling for me is not just about teaching reading writing and arithmetic. Its about digging deep into my childrens soul and planting seeds that will someday blossom into something so lovely and incredible. Its about showing them the love of God each and every day… even when I feel like I am on my last straw… then it is about showing Gods grace in those moments.

So as we start this new year, I am reminded of the blessings of my past, and the promises of my future. I am reminded of my children’s hearts, souls and minds. I am reminded that I have a unique and awesome calling to mother them and teach them, but more than anything….

To love them.

About Me

I love nature, sewing, scouting and quotes...An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life. Unknown----------------------------- Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God. Unknown---------------------------------- "I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan
