It seems like just yesterday when Summer break started, I cannot believe in less than two weeks we will be starting 6th Grade. My baby girl is now entering the middle school years, and I am going to do my best to make sure she really enjoys this school year. I am sure she will dislike me when she starts and sees all the work I have planned out for her, but in the end the reward will be worth {Read More}

When I was determined to home school my daughter, my husband and I had a lot of things to discuss. Where the schooling would take place, how we would prepare, what things we would cover, and how would we keep our daughter interested in what we were teaching.

This question is an easy one, why should one home school? I will be honest home schooling isn’t for everyone and neither is public schooling. When my daughter was in kindergarten we tried the whole public school route. The first week of school she was out sick for almost a week, germs yuck.
