I want to say thank you for your post. I am a newbie to homeschooling. I've used Charter Schools at home, but that's not the direction God wanted me to go in; I was being a 'Jonah' I think. I just needed some encouragement and direction. This year has been difficult and stress-filled, but I thank God for Grace...it has kept me sane. One of the biggest stresses, is my children's father. He has a very low opinion of me, so he's always demanding to see things on a moments notice and telling me how unimportant and non-special I am. It caused me to give up homeschooling on my own the first time, but this year, I kept going and started to really work on not letting the negativity continue to ring in my ear. Please keep the encouragements coming. I thank you graciously. May God bless you and your family Richly in all things according to HIS perfect will.

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...

2016 was a pretty skimpy blogging year for me. Ask me why, I am not sure I have an answer for you beside life happening and writing inspiration fading. With a new year upon us I will try to get back on the blogging scene and what best topic to start the year with than giving you a glimpse into what homeschooling looks like in our home with now two teenagers.
