I’ve never wanted to homeschool my girls.  In fact, I’ve said, “I could never do that!” and “there is no way that would work for our family and personalities!”.  Guess what?!?  I’m homeschooling my girls.  When God tells you to do something, it’s best to listen and obey.

So, here I am…obeying.  It does not mean that it’s easy once you obey, but God does equip us for the task at hand.  I am loving the freedom it is giving our family.

My oldest (6th grade) attends a coop and goes to Spanish, Drama, World History, Chemistry/Physics and PE.  She is running for student government and is making friends.  It is a beautiful thing.  We will begin reviewing some math and doing some writing at home…eventually.

My youngest tried the coop, but it is a bit overwhelming for her–she’s only in kindergarten and not reading or writing yet (side note–this does not concern me in the least).  Truth be told, I was a bit overwhelmed myself.  I’m happily embracing the concept of “unschooling” right now.  We are pursuing her interests and taking things organically and slowly.  And… I LOVE IT!!!!

I’m blessed to be able to be with my girls and pursue this new way of living as a family.  Change isn’t easy, but I know we are on the right path.
