Whyyyyy???


I always do this with being a homeschool mom. And its been 9 years that I've been one.
I ask myself:
"Are they learning enough?"
"Am I a good teacher?"
"Will they grow up hating me?"
"Am I balancing their education with enough academic, spiritual...."
"Am I really cut out for this?"
on and on and on
Insecure thoughts and feelings I command you to go today! Its Friday and I just want to go and enjoy my kids!!

Kimber Academy...


Libbie and Kaliegh go to a private school that is very supportive of homeschool. They have many ideas that I agree with and do things like:
1. No homework.
2. Support leadership.
3. Help kids prepare for college.
4. Support morals and values.
5. Kids don't get compared to each other, kids work on becoming better than they were before.
6. It is only 12 hours a week.
7. It is very parent involved.
8. Price is not bad.

Why we homeschool...


These are some of the reasons....


1. I love to learn and teach
2. It feels right
3. I enjoy my kids
4. I am not happy with public education
5. I am crazy

Time for Chess


Kelise can bake muffins all by herself, well she does have a little bit of help from the 3 little girls:)


Our family affirmation : "I love to learn!"
(Libbie rolls her eyes at me when I say that)

Did I tell these girls to sit at their desks and read? no
