Why Homeschooling?

Besides following what was in my heart, the biggest reason we began homeschooling was so that we can experience life--together.  There are so many moments every day I am so grateful to share with my family.

My husband works so much right now, we try to make it special when he comes home for lunch. 

My boys are cultivating and nourishing the most important friendship they'll ever have--with each other. 

They have time to learn about their interests, too.  My oldest is taking piano lessons during the day, when he is most receptive. 

It is a joy teaching my oldest how to read and helping him practice writing, exploring his creativity, nurturing his imagination.  We try to speak Spanish one day/week at home--we are all learning (except my fluent husband, of course!).

We get to go on field trips.  We get to explore nature, our world.  We plan to travel as often as we can--especially to Mexico.  Hopefully, someday to Poland, Germany and Ireland--my heritage. 

I feel good about homeschooling every day.  I pray that we can continue to experience life together--making mistakes, finding our way, enjoying every minute.
