My Last Year is Here

I began homeschooling in 2004. My youngest has his senior year ahead of him. This will be our last year! I'm sad and happy at the same time. It is hard to believe that when I'm done, it will have been 16 years of homeschooling. Wow! How did that happen? I want to go back. There is so much I wish I could have done different. I'm writing this to encourage you on your journey. I wasted alot of time worrying about paying the bills and getting items checked off the school work list. Stop, enjoy, laugh, rest, play! You are building a foundation and it isn't all about academics. Make God the center of your day. Bring Him into your conversations daily. Take time to build your marriage. Love your husband in front of the kids. Talk respectully about him to them. The time comes quick when the kids will be gone and it's just the two of you! Go on dates, don't nag him, accept him.

Enjoy family time. Make family time a priority! Talk with your kids. Listen to them. Let them make decisions. Go on fieldtrips, lots of them! Homeschooling is a huge blessing every day! I am so thankful I got to embark on this journey and continue through the years. May you be thankful and feel God's blessings too!

Take Pictures!

Your babies are growing up fast! Take pictures along the way because you will turn around one day and they will be graduating and you wonder how that went so fast.
