I have homeschooled 5 1/2 years now.
 
I love getting into a subject and really digging into. I love to watch the wheels turn in my kids head when they are really learning and are mesmerized by the process. I love the fact that four year olds can know about Ancient Civilizations and not have to wait until sixth grade until they study it. I love to go to a museum or McDonald's and not a soul be there because they are all back in school.
 
I love to hear my children talk about homeschooling their children and the love I see in their eyes for babies and toddlers. I love the fact that my six-year-old girl will plop herself down in a pile of boys at the lake and organize them into building a massive sand

New-2-Homeschooling?
castle. (Other girls joined later) I love to watch my son go down the aisle of McKay's bookstore and be overjoyed when he finds the Mark Twain section. I love homeschool as lifestyle. But most of all, what I love about homeschooling, is when my children, unaware of anyone around, will look at another child and say "Do you have Jesus in your heart?"
 
I hate the "what if" syndrome. I hate walking away from a group of other homeschoolers or conference or book fair and wonder "what if I'm not doing enough", "What if I am using the wrong curriculum (or no curriculum at all)", or "what if my child doesn't learn his multiplication tables before he goes to college." I think the "what if" syndrome is like a virus. It can infect us at any time and is very hard to recover from.
 
I am leader of Collegedale Area Homeschoolers. :)
 
The most interesting animals I own right now are two precious house bunnies. There names are Bun-Bun and Dodger. Dodger is a compact and Bun-Bun is more like a mid-size sedan. We also have a sweet, sweet kitty named KiKi and a loving cockatiel named, Scotty.
 
My favorite colors are naturals, terra cotta, and anything brown.
A mix of Classical Literature and Unit Studies.
I've decided that I have the same feelings about schedules that I do about gardening. I love the idea but it's a whole lotta work.
