We have a new student! (homeschool)
After praying and meditating for several months, we have decided to pull my son out of public school and homeschool him. I was initially terrified at the idea of homeschooling my high school son, but then one day I received a sense of peace. I have graduated from high school and college, so what’s to…

Keep the spark alive
This is a troubling area for me. I am trying to so hard to keep Jays love for learning going without becoming an unschooler. Not that there is anything wrong with unschooling infact, when I homeschooled my son this was my approach because he had been so programmed. All she really wants to do is…
