I’m so glad I have a few of you interested in how I’m evaluating our homeschool! Here are the questions I’m going to give my children: 1. What is your favorite thing about homeschooling? 2. What is your least favorite thing about your homeschooling experience? 3. What is your favorite subject? Why? 4. What is …
It must be something about the season. It’s spring here. The trees are getting green, the azaleas are just about ready to bloom. Everything is fresh and new. I love it! It gets me in the planning and organizing mood. It’s not just the house I want to organize. I’m so ready to start planning …
That’s the topic for this week’s Blog Cruise. Sometimes I feel like that title sums up my life. Sigh. On other days I rejoice that homeschooling and housework are what sums up my life. My attitude aside, those are 2 of my biggest roles. And I want to do them both well. It is my …
I’m sure everyone is on the edge of their seats wondering how much I’ve done on my list in one week. No? Well, that’s what I’m blogging about today.
