We're in our third year of homeschooling and finally feel like we're in a good groove -- except of course for those moments of panic when I scour the net for the next great thing that is the essential component that I'm missing and I worry that everything is going to end in a pile of hooey -- the rest of the time it's zen-like! It's such a process! Nice to hear from someone farther along in the journey.scoobymummynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-46659762965734194382012-05-21T18:28:44.966-05:002012-05-21T18:28:44.966-05:00Kelli,

Maybe we can help your husband feel better about the homeschool lifestyle.<br />My husband used to feel the same way...now he is totally on board and he is now it's loudest advocate!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309932952235453461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-29954918853766569422012-05-21T09:06:31.791-05:002012-05-21T09:06:31.791-05:00Hello!

I have been considering homeschooling my eight year old daughter for the last two or three years. She had an awful year this year, and I can't help but feel discouraged when all she brings home is a pile of worksheets. I know I can do better than that. This post was really inspiring (it actually made me cry, for some reason). While I am totally ready to make the leap, the rest of my family is not, especially my husband. I know this is my own battle to fight, but I'd love any advice you might have to give.Kelli Wilsonhttp://www.monadnockmama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-12134246747855342752012-05-19T13:01:50.290-05:002012-05-19T13:01:50.290-05:00I'm happy to hear it!!!!

I...Just online, overdosing on homeschooling blogs. I'm always trolling for inspiration and back up and usually end up with an anxiety attack and Christian mama overload instead! (Hence my search for atheist homeschoolers, which led to you!) Your post was like a balm to me. It's a letter I need to write to myself. My boys are 5 and 6 years old - "school age" - so the rubber has been hitting the road in terms of our commitment to non-compulsory learning. It feels like the pressure is on, and I'm constantly questioning whether I'm doing what's right for my guys! And what if I'm doing it wrong?! I'm going to try and trust your words... in fact, I'm going to write a note to remind myself of what you've said. Thanks.mommy besiegedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588755821521839531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-64015088017472402942012-05-17T18:54:29.327-05:002012-05-17T18:54:29.327-05:00Oh my gosh -- I could've written this letter, ...Oh my gosh -- I could've written this letter, especially the first paragraph.
