I never thought in a million years that I would be a homeschooling mama. Iʻve researched homeschooling for many years but the time was always wrong to give it a try. When I did finally decide to do it, because there is no good time,...I gave it my all. The day I broke the news to my children that I was going to homeschool them, they swore they werenʻt going to ever talk to me again. I wish I documented the look on their faces...but, being the good sports they always are...they were willing to put their future in their motherʻs hands.
We are going into our fifth year of homeschooling. Since this is somewhat a public post and not my personal journal, I guess Iʻm supposed to write about how "rewarding" and "phenomenal" itʻs been. Truth be told, it has been that and more! I've grown so close to my children as I've come to know their needs and their concerns about life on individual levels. We've had our hair pulling days (yes, our own and each other's, you'd figure we'd be bald by now) but from 8-2, Monday through Fridays, there's no other place I'd rather be. The most rewarding feeling for me is that they feel the same...well, most of the time anyway and I'll gladly settle for that.
I'm so grateful to have made the decision to homeschool. Regardless of what anyone has to say, it's been one of the biggest blessings we've experienced as a family. I encourage those with a desire to give it a try, of your desire is true, I know you'll love it.
