( Picture via Pinterest ) Those moments when things are supposed to be the way it is but never is. Those moments where things seem like they are but never are. Those moments where certainty is promised but promises uncertainty. Those moments when you know but then again have no freaking idea. Yea, those moments. Life's moments that are bliss - filled that turns in to a bliss-less-ness. Lately life has been like this for me. Can you relate? Does it seem like in one moment you know what direction you're supposed to be heading and then the next not so sure? Does it seem to have you on a high and then, before you know it, that high becomes a low? And sometimes really, really, low. Life is like this. Ups and downs are the one thing that is constant and sure. In moments like these here's what I do... take a deep breath, inhale it all in, and breathe it all out. I let it go.

YES, he is so cute, haha.
ReplyDeleteAlso...I'm really interested in why you have a list of homeschooling sites? Were you/ Are you homeschooled?
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to homeschool my son (He's only 1 year old now, but when he's of age). Any thoughts?
Hi Amber ~ Yes...it's going on 14 years since we made the decision to HS our children. They've never gone to school and we plan on it being that way for all of them through High School. If everything lines up for you and your son, go for it. It's not as against the grain as it was 13 years ago. It's much more "appreciated" by the masses but don't let that carry much weight for you. Especially when you're the one that's going to have to decide to keep going when it get's tough, and it will.
ReplyDeleteThe links that I share are sites I use off and on for my children, some a lot more than others. I like them, my kids like them and that's it. I keep it simple. That's my M.O...keep it simple stupid, it works.
Read a lot, and chat with other's who have been there and done it. When I first started I held onto the words of a HS mom I met who had been HS for 7 years back then. She told me, "this is not "school" and don't expect it to look that way". It was a gem that didn't become clear to me until 3 years into it but when it did...smooth sailing since then.
Thanks for the question. It has been on my mind to write an article on "unschooling" soon. This has been our method for the past several years.
