It's amazing the amount of info and support you can find out there. I will agree with the previous comment....housework will always be there, your children won't. And yes my kitchen is messy:)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17289736864100513764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054451010567466590.post-36981892951956229662009-10-10T14:07:12.352-04:002009-10-10T14:07:12.352-04:00I loved what you had to say on the subject melissa...I loved what you had to say on the subject melissa. This is something I weigh everyday. The younger years are easier but i am too afraid of the algebra, geometry depth... :) I also fear the socialization aspect and the "me time"meaning finding time for me to make and do and ... clean????. Which is so hard to find. I love the time honeypie and I spend reading, gardening, baking, making... but i fear of what i might not be able to provide. I guess mainly socialization with others.... I do think i provide more in terms of learning book or life wise... so i am not regretful there... mmmm lots to think about. Not alot of support either in my area for homeschooling. We tend to want "the best" for our kids... so the fear of setting her out to be something less than what she can be scares me... i guess that is just my feeling of inadequacy... i know what i am good at... and probably have too much of high expectations for myself and what i can or cannot provide... <br />working more on "unschooling" myself :) ... letting go... Homeschooling or unschooling as it may is a wonderful choice.happybirdycake.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434396999280173685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054451010567466590.post-59275508126293110082009-10-07T11:57:04.260-04:002009-10-07T11:57:04.260-04:00There is so much info out there to overwhelm a res...There is so much info out there to overwhelm a researching parent, so I won't give it all to you, but I LOVE Ruth Beechick, she is a Christian but what I like most about her is her perspective about using everyday life to teach. I have confidence that you can glean a ton of info from her writings that will still suit your belief system. This inexpensive set was awesome(http://www.amazon.com/Three-Rs-Ruth-Beechick/dp/0880620749/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254930885&sr=8-1) and I also loved this (http://www.amazon.com/Language-Thinking-Young-Children-Beechick/dp/0880621524/ref=pd_sim_b_3)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054451010567466590.post-14202262959137218642009-10-07T10:03:15.096-04:002009-10-07T10:03:15.096-04:00Ha ha thanks Lisa, I love that photo myself. :)
I...Ha ha thanks Lisa, I love that photo myself. :)<br /><br />It is exactly that point of being there with them beside them and sometimes teaching them during the discoveries that I am seriously considering it. That and so much more but that is for another post on another day lol.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15318966183032998930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054451010567466590.post-69935682063899555702009-10-06T16:52:46.082-04:002009-10-06T16:52:46.082-04:00First of all, I LOVE your banner pic!

It is so sweet, a girl and her dad, what could be better?<br /><br />I am so glad you are doing some research and not just writing yourself off as "not being able" to home school. I won't lie it's a lot of hard work balancing school and home. But when your child masters a skill and you realize you are the one who helped them that sink full of dirty dishes won't matter. The housework will always be there, Wednesday won't, she will be a wonderful young lady one day with a rich wonderful life thanks to your awesome parenting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
