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!

  1. Ok, I've been waiting for updates, but nothing as of yet...lol...I understand. I'm actually procrastinating right now. I have a paper to write, but I just don't feel the initiative right now. How is school going for you now, anyway? So far, I'm really pleased with my "new" decision. I think I felt really pressured previously and now I feel like I'm not cutting short their education by feeling such pressure. We'll just see how the rest of the year plays out!

  2. lol! I wondered if someone would comment about no updates. Last week was a busy one for us...we left Wednesday and headed to Cumberland for a last camping trip with the kids..just got back tonight. I predict this week will be busy again....all the cleanup from vaca and the rest of life. I will try to post as I go along, but be patient with me! =D
