2011-2012 Schedule
It has been a challenge these past few weeks working out a good schedule to balance our time. We have so many things outside of school that we all do. My son works 2 part time jobs with unpredictable schedules. He is a bagger at the local grocery and a host at a popular restaurant. His bagger job has fallen to only about one or two times a week, but his job as a host … Continue reading
2011-2012 School Year Plans
Today we begin our 4th week of our 8th year of homeschooling. My son will be graduating this year and my daughter is in her first year of high school. The years are flying by and before I know it our homeschooling years will be behind us.

The Homeschool Mother’s Journal-1
I ran across this wonderful sharing meme on my dear friend Heidi’s blog and thought it would be a good one to help me get back into the blogging swing. The past year has been so busy and filled to the brim that I have found myself lacking the time to put the proverbial “pen to paper”. So perhaps if I can commit myself to at least posting once a week I can work back … Continue reading
