Happy New Year and an update

Wow, it's been a few weeks since I posted about our life here.

Well, 2011 started with us moving. In this new year, we have a new home, a new church and a new neighbourhood. Our move on the 1st went well with the help of our brethren. The kids got to stay with some friends and had a grand time. I was sick over Christmas and New Year, so I was not much help, but by the grace of God I was still able to do some of what needed to be done. The whole family actually got some cold at some point during this time period.

Now we are all moved in, mostly unpacked and settled in our new environment, and I can finally take a few minutes to post.

We started back school, after a month off, on Tuesday. The kids actually did well and were quite dilligent. Makes you wonder if long breaks do not have benefits . . .

Our schedule changed a bit as my hubby's day off is going to be Thursday now. So, instead of Monday, there won't be any school on Thursday.

Hopefully I'll be posting a bit more in the coming days. I am sorry to my blogosphere friends for the lack of comments, it's been busy. My reader is full, I am scared to even look at it. On top of this I really want to focus more on schooling (instead of reading about others schooling, which I love to do  . . .), and keeping the house in order. Hopefully I'll get to visit you still though.

In the mean time I wish you all a Happy New Year filled with God's blessings and care.

Happy New Year to you, too! I'm your newest rss feed follower! Thanks for visiting today. We started school back last week and it was a struggle (and we only took off 2.5 weeks)! We haven't had complete school this week either due to the snow storm that struck NW GA. ~ Ellen

Glad you and the family are all feeling better. Also glad that you are all moved and settled. I understand about wanting to read and visit everyone. It is so hard. However, we must concentrate on our schooling as well! Blessings!

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had  the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...

2019-2020 Curriculum Line Up- Grade 11 and Grade 9

Happy New Year to all! After a two year hiatus, I am resurrecting this blog. Life has been such that keeping up with this blog had become a really low priority, but I kind of miss it, so here I am giving it a try again. First I realized I never posted about my kids' curriculum line up for this school year. So, though late, here it is. This year I am homeschooling two high-schoolers. Time has gone so fast. With a 14 year old (9th grade) and a 16 year old (11th grade) I really feel like time is sleeping away; but that is the reality of life. We are but a vapor... So here we are: Humanities: Tapestry of Grace Year 2 - Middle Ages:   History, Literature, Writing, Church History, (hoping: Philosophy) Math: Alpha and Omega  Chemistry: Mr.Q.
