Why we do what we do...
Many times of the last number of years I have had the pleasure of talking with moms that are just beginning this home school adventure...I have talked to them about my experiences and what the day-to-day looks like in our family situation and just what we do everyday.
Most of you would not know that I had the pleasure of being 'home-schooled' from grade six to grade nine....and my husbands family also 'home-schooled' his younger sister straight through high school. We have always had the support from both sides of our families in our decision to educate at home and this has been a blessing to us.
I have been asked many times why we have chosen to home school...after all it requires me to stay at home which means our family lives on one income. Our decision also means that we have to provide all of the curriculum for our children's education...there is no funding for this...so financially it doesn't make sense.
We believe that if we were to look at the home school decision based only on what makes sense on paper...we would be missing out on the most amazing opportunity that we have been given, to train up our children in the way they should go. When my husband and I started to have our children we started to talk about why we were wanting to home school. There is much discussion in christian circles about the benefits of 'sending our children out....being a light in our community...not sheltering them from the world...' and we just did not want to get caught up in the debates of the day. Instead we talked privately about who we wanted our children to grow up to be...and what we wanted them to learn...and from what viewpoint we wanted them to learn from. You see all education is taught from a viewpoint....I am not looking to shelter my children from hearing the other viewpoints I just want to be there to explain to my children the differing views and how that aligns with our family values. I want to spend the time with my children watching them learn and to be their encourager and biggest cheerleader.
If fact when people look at homeschooling and say things like...you must be a saint...or I couldn't do that....maybe they couldn't, but maybe, just maybe we are looking at it from opposite directions; you see I am looking at it from the perspective that I am so blessed to be given this opportunity. It's not some kind of drudgery to me....I get to be with my children, who God has so graciously given to me to raise...and I get to pour life into their souls...everyday...and I have the opportunity to choose curriculum that works for 'just them' not trying to fit them into the same box that every other 'jo' or 'sally' learns from. God made me to be the mom that he intended for these children...he has given me a desire for these children to succeed in both education and life....but even more important than that...He has given me a desire to see my children educated in the 'things of God' the everyday things. I feel that this was the right fit for our family...it might not be right for every family...and that's okay...really:)
If you are looking at home schooling and are unsure if you could do it...or if it will all work out, please know that there are many wonderful books out there to help answer those questions...and its okay if the questions might not always get answered....but if you have a desire to educate your children and you just know that is what is right for your family...jump in...it is the best ride of your life!

Homeschooling Resources: Link to a Give-A-Way
Have you ever been in a bookstore or at a conference and there are tables of books laid out before you, calling to you to pick them up and learn what exciting pieces of information...golden nuggets tucked between the pages just meant for you to read? Have you ever been tempted into buying a whole stack? and then sitting that stack on a bookshelf...reading them over time (I am sharing over HERE today...come and visit)

Book Review: The Organized Home Schooler
As a home school mom of four, in our 12Th year of schooling....I was please to have a chance to review the new book by Vicki Caruana, The Organized Home Schooler. You see-home schoolers are known for their love of books...and I am no exception. I love books. I have books about every topic imaginable...my children think it is hilarious that I even have books on how to read books...you see- this could create a problem...where to store the books. Vicki gives many examples on how to store and organize everything related to homeschooling, from glue to portfolios...you name it and she covers it. I found the book to be an easy read with many examples on different ways to organize. It is not a book that goes into a detailed explanation on the how to of each method, but more of a guide on what each system could accomplish. Vicky does a very nice job of gently reminding us that our God is a God of order and design, and if we keep this in mind, we can create a tidy space for each of our little artists that gives structure and still breads creativity. Very nice book Vicki...now with your inspiration I just have to find another spot on my bookshelf to place my book! Many thanks to www.crossway.org/blog for the opportunity to review this book. I am under no obligation to provide a positive review, my opinions are my own.
