Short and simple explanation of why we choose homeschooling

I thought today I would explain a little about our decision to homeschool our seven children. Hope you enjoy..... Homeschooling has become more common and much more normalized in today's culture. However the stigma of homeschoolers still exist. There are so many questions not asked of those whose children attend public or private school. Will your child resent you? Will your child go to college? Will your child get into a "good" school? And, honestly, the answer to two of those questions is, "I don't know, if that is their choice, I will certainly do what I can to make it happen." The answer to the other question is, "Hopefully not. We try to raise our children to understand that we love and appreciate them and we truly care about what they have to say. Hopefully, they will understand that we made these decisions prayerfully and with their best interest in mind." You see, homeschooling has its ups and downs just like public school does. Homesch...

Back to blogging...

I used to blog. A lot. Now, I have 6 kids under 10 and we homeschool. So, yeah, I don't blog anymore...until now! My husband bought a notebook for me and apparently wants me to start blogging again. I'm not sure right now what this space will be but it will be something....It's been so long since I have written anything of substance. So, today, this beautiful Sunday morning, I am lying around with cramps, looking at pinterest, cooking spaghetti for lunch and making german chocolate brownies with the kiddos. All in all, a good day. A day of rest. Would have liked to attend church but praying I feel better soon. Sophie May, sweet baby girl, also feels bad. She threw up yesterday and today. Happy Sunday. Love to all!!! Jules
