You are organized! I just wish my children would stick to my organization. It is so very fleeting. However, just wanted to say, I love Donna Young too! I knew exactly where those calendar pages came from the moment I saw that photo! Blessings! Wow! You are organized!

I wish my husband would see homeschooling as an option, at least until we can get this house sold. He is adamantly against it. Kind of like an irrational fear thing. So, instead I have precious little time to prepare my 3 daughters to be thrown to the wolves prowling the halls of public school, since our Christian school is no more (as of the last day of school.) It's all they've known all their schooling lives. So now, I'm the one up having irrational fears and panick attacks about school starting! Wow! You are very organized.

It will be a big change this year for us. But I am looking forward to being able to do the same program for 2 different ages instead of trying to fit 2 whole days in one. I am nervous but think the kids will enjoy it. Since we live in FL I haven't registered with an umbrella school because my older daughter (11) wants to be in the band and younger one wants to be a cheerleader. According to FL laws the school has to allow HS'ers to participate but NOT if they are part of an umbrella school. Plus keeping records is pretty easy for me and it doesn't really change your status for college. It will still come down to board scores. At least it sounds like that. So as usual we commit to one year at a time. Here's a toast to all HSing moms for the courage (and Grace) to continue. Plus I can always use another excuse to drink. :) We have gone from using a curriculum in a box to Classical Conversations. It will be a big change this year for us.

I don’t think the Workbox System e-Book is very expensive at all. I believe there’s a lot of downloadable stuff that comes with it.

If you purchased it, what exactly are you buying? You seem so organized and I really need HELP with that area of homeschooling. My problem is I don't have a room to use for it... and I wish I did.

We're working on a very small scale right now. I've got two five year olds to do kindergarten with. We're going to do school year round this year so I have lots of flexibility with all my little people (I have five kids five and under). We're doing the Ordinary Parents Guide to Reading, which I'm fairly pleased with. Reason for Handwriting. Five In A Row Math-U-See And that is all. Ooo, I love looking at curriculum.

I did ACE for years (7-10) and actually finished all my high school credits by the end of 10th grade, due to the work at your own pace style. You will not be disappointed. I’m so thrilled for you!

So far the hardest thing about homeschooling is that all three of my children need individual attention. This is also one of the things I enjoy, but leaves me with little time for things like cleaning my house and putting away laundry. RockyA is just starting to be able to do some work on her own. This idea will help tremendously, but I'm getting it won't clean the house for me? LO-OVE IT! So far the hardest thing about homeschooling is that all three of my children need individual attention.
