No I Didn't Forget About My New Blog!

We're still here, but life is happening....refrigerator decided to puke on us yesterday! =O So we are in the process of trying to replace it. I've also picked up a writing job which does make life busier for me, but we need the extra cash it will generate. All in all this makes homeschooling a little more hectic as you can imagine, but we're getting it done...just not taking too much time to blog about it!
Started reading "Charlotte's Web" to the kiddos- they love it..especially Bubby.

More to come....I promise! lol

Welcome!

Hello Everyone! Welcome to our (my children and I...and maybe my hubby too!) blog! We hope you'll join us on our homeschooling journey of making school fun! In the past two years I feel I've managed to squash my son's desire to learn by using a curriculum that frustrated him and me! We had too many days that ended with unhappy tones. I have used A Beka for everything....so after two very long years, I've decided to switch things up in hopes of creating a spark in my son.

This year our curriculum has gone eclectic. Here's what we're using for my son (from now on we'll refer to him as Bubby):

A Beka Phonics (this is not new, but it does work for us)
Bob Jones Math
Writing Strands
Science/History/Social Studies/Geography unit studies

For my daughter (to be referred to as Princess- her choice, lol):

Preschool materials I have on hand
Books and videos
She participates in our unit studies as well

In the days to come I'll be updating on our progress and hope to hear feedback from YOU!
