I have not been lurking around the net much these days. I have been super busy with my new endeavor and maintaining old ones. I have gone back to school and I am a bit obsessed with showing up the youngins in my classes...
Blogging had to take a backseat to life. I plan to continue homeschooling my children and keep up with all the opportunities that enrich their lives. My son will be performing in Fiddler on the Roof, next month and he is playing spring football. My youngest daughter's softball season has just begun. It seems we are out of the house everyday for some activity or obligation.
I love homeschooling, so much. It is well worth the investment and sacrifices. I think it is hard for non-homeschoolers to "get it" (why we do it)... The rewards are eternal and make for such an amazing home life. The relationships homeschooling parents enjoy with their homeschooled kids is difficult to describe without sounding arrogant. I KNOW there is a difference. I have been a mom for nearly 18 years. I have dwelt in the world of children and families and have observed enough to be an authority in this area. I homeschool because I have seen and lived the results and it works. I believe it to be superior to the other choices...just as public school or private school parents believe their choices are the best. I may sound haughty, but if I weren't convinced of this I wouldn't do it. I am so thankful parents have the right to make what they believe to be is the BEST educational choice for THEIR children.
I love this vid and it encompasses a lot of why MY children belong at home. Liberated, is a good word to describe our homeschooling lifestyle.

We have two daughters three and five. We are homeschooilng also.
That's awesome! I am amazed how popular homeschooling has become. I think people are waking up to the reality of how the public schools have failed our kids.
