Yesterday was the last day of school, not only for our recent 1st grade graduate, but also our last day of public school for the foreseeable future. Today begins our newest venture- homeschooling. I decided to start this new blog to chronicle our journey for many reasons.
1) When the going gets tough (and I know there will be bad days) I want to remind myself of WHY we chose this adventure for our family.
2) Perhaps help someone else who is thinking about making the jump to homeschool from public school. Hopefully they will be able to learn from my mistakes and be encouraged by our (hopeful) successes.
3) To bring a 'real' example of homeschool to others. I've been discouraged by the posts and websites of other homeschool moms who look like they have it all together in that perfect pinterest way. I feel so inadequate to try to 'match' what they have done. Hopefully my honesty of the highs and lows will encourage other homeschool families.
4) To chart my growth over time as a wife, mom, teacher, and daughter of the King. I anticipate God to do a mighty work in our family as we journey to be more intentional as parents, spouses, and a family.
Over the next week or two I will begin outlining our reasons for homeschooling and the decisions we've made thus far. I hope you join us on this journey. We will need encouragement, advice, and prayers as we open our hearts and home to more intentional influence through homeschooling.
