An Adventure....

That is just what life is. Right now the adventure is figuring out our schooling for next year. I have homeschooled in the past but never 3 kids at once with a toddler in the mix. This will mark the 2nd year that my older two daughters have not been schooled at home. I have watched so many negative changes that have taken place in good girls at an excellent school. How much we taught them at home that they have seemingly lost while being in the hands of other educators. This was all we needed to flip the switch and dig back into the idea of homeschooling again. Our daughters will be in 1st, 4th & 8th grade and we will have a 2.5 year old under toe as well. Oh and did I mention we would be doing this on a shoe string budget too. So that is pretty much going to be the scope of this blog. How we homeschool a bunch of kids, in a busy life, on a little budget. I think that pretty much describes at least 70% of the homeschooling community. I have many plans and ideas and I am all about trial and error so I will share where we succeed and where we fail in hopes that will help others too. I will also share many freebies and cool finds on the web.

  6. I'm seriously considering trying to get J on board with homeschooling the Ladybug once she hits preschool. I doubt he'd go for more than just preschool but hey. I'll be reading your journey as you find your groove!

  7. I think it's great that you are going to take on the challenge and homeschool again because it is what is BEST right now, though certainly not what is easiest. I hope it goes great for you.
