Another day and no dollar:)

I don't get Paid a single dollar for homeschooling:) And I am okay with that. I can't say this enough... Blessed! I feel so blessed to have amazing mentors in our life! Really, we are in a commonwealth group. If you have middle school- High schoolers, hands down this ROCKS! I am thankful I listened to that still small voice that told me to homeschool my children. Im forever grateful for my Heavenly Father who has put amazing people in our lives.  I am forever grateful for Jesus Christ who is my example in this world. I love him dearly and I am grateful to be me. I am grateful I have had HUGE AWFUL trials in my life. This has made me the person I am today. 
School Stuff:

• We cont. to go to our groups
• I love that little voice that whispers what my children need to learn that day.
• I love, love, that we can spend hours on one subject because we really are into it and liking what we are learning.
• Travel- Of course the best way to see and learn is doing! I like being a doer. I like being a shaker and a mover too:) Getting things done:)
• Well rounded- Homeschooling is very well rounded.
• I'm loving it!
• Who would of ever thought I'd be "One Of Them" Homeschoolers:) Well, it's so worth it to me and worth giving up my Me time, I still find me time and we time:) Just not really in the daytime.
• If you ever find your heart telling you that your kids need to be homeschooled, like I did. Don't be scared it really isn't bad at all. You'll know, your heart will tell you and he will confirm it. And it took me a good month or two to even accept the very thought of it. You'll be blessed for listening.

High School

Here is a great online option for high school:  www.wacademy.org.  They now have divided up all classes so that you just enroll and pay for the online class you take. It explains how they do math, science, fine arts, and PE  - a week-long canyoneering excursion.  It is expensive, but it might be that you are looking for one-or-two classes to take not everything.  WA is now also working with LEMI, the master-minds behind the commonwealths, to give students who complete the commonwealth classes (all but Shakespeare) a full year of high school credit.

Taylor took Alaina to her Grandma's house to learn about gardening.

She had a great time too:) Lucky!

They also went to a mine and they even were able to pan for gold. They both did get some gold to bring home. I wish my school days could of been more "FUN".

Mr. Nassar was a great speaker. It was very enjoyable to hear him tell us his story. We did buy his book, My Brother's Voice.

We plan to read it in a few weeks.

Ponder, it helps clear your mind and relax.

I didn't post pictures but I also had the kids one day put face masks on and cucumbers on their eyes. Then I turned on that kinda Spa music- relaxing stuff and I tell them let all their worries and cares go, let it go right out your toes. It's important to teach your children how to let go of stress and know some ways to relax.

Our weekly peace place we visit.

One could never write enough. Journal:)

I also Love the idea of Pen-Pals. Andrew already has one.

Soon the girls will too! It's fun and they get excited when their Pen-Pals write them.

I am leaving for a few weeks:) I will post pictures when I return. I am really excited! Happy Teaching Parents:)

New Blog because...

Have you ever tasted drinks from around the world?

Overall, It is FUN!

Some are So YUMMY and some are STRAIGHT Nasty!

Others so/so, in between and just Okay.

Guess where this is going? Yep, u got it!

Homeschooling reminds me of this recent adventure
we had. The Coca-Cola Factory next to MGM Grand.

We did Public School, Private School and now Homeschool.

All 3 have + and - . I respect you all because only

you as a parent should pick and do what is best for your children.

Bottom line is what is good for one may not be good for another, Amen!

I love the options we now have. I feel FREDOM and PEACE.

Always making changes and trying to move forward and yes, when I

know better, I do better. High hopes of teaching around the world this year.

Many post to come. Please, let me sell your house or sell you a house:)

Hang in there! Don't give up! Everyday is a new day and there is always hope. Believe in yourself, Make it happen, dream and live your dreams,

and You May Ask Yourself, How? Just Start......
