Homeschooling Newbie


First of all ... If you are reading this you're awesome! Ha ha! 
OK ,OK so this is my new blog and it's dedicated to our first year of homeschooling. I'm pretty excited about it, but its more of an "I'm about to toss my cookies!" excited... Mainly because I've never done this before. Well I guess that's not completely true. I had a wonderful job as a preschool aide at my daughters school. I know, know...why would you quit a perfect job at your daughters Private christian school, the one that gave you an awesome discount on tuition? 

Well my hubby has a really demanding and stressful job at times. I just made more sense  for me to stay home and take care of things for the fambam. I really felt the Lord leading me to homeschool. I was like "What !?! God are you kidding!" To my surprise He wasn't' because my husband was totally on broad.  So It's kind of cool because working with A Beka as a teachers aide, sort of prepared me for this.

I've noticed tons of blogs with all these amazing women sharing ideas and advice about keeping it together with this whole homeschooling deal. I started to think " How cool would it be if there was a blog about someone keeping it "real" in the world of HS ( Homeschooling)
Yes, my best idea ever! Maybe I can help other newbies feel better about themselves! And I kinda want to watch our adventure over the year, learn from our mistakes, laugh, cry, etc.
 I realize I'm probably not the first to do this but even if only one person is inspired by this blog it would be worth it to me!




Ever since I started declaring my plans to homeschool on Facebook, I've had so many friends message me about how to start... Of course I'm thinking " Really? You're asking me?" But I really have learned a lot in the last few months of preparation. I've had some really great veteran homeschooling Moms take me under their wings, and when I find something new to learn, I'm pretty OBSESSED  passionate about researching every known fact about it.

So I'm currently collecting curriculum, Setting up are classroom, and trying to plan our WHOLE year!
Yeah, I know...Summer is supposed to be vacation! Not in my world! It's all good, it's going to be so worth it come September...
