Wow! I have been very blessed reading about everyone! I have talked numerous times today about how excited I am to have found large homeschooling families!
Okay, I am Christina, wife to Shane, and mother to 4, DD’s are 7, 5, 3, and DS is 3 months. We’re also TTC #5!! =)
We have been exposed to HS for YEARS through our business, and have always had a heart for it,knowing we were going to HS our kids before we even had them~ I had been exposed to CM, but when you are not really in the middle of HS, it seems to go over your head, if that makes any sence. We put my DD into K, against what we thought originally, resulting in some major issues. Some physical, some spiritual. The doctor suggested to pull her out. That was 2 years ago. Now, I have spent 2 years banging my head against the wall, trying to get thorugh day by day, to the point where she was home, but not being HS…it seemed too big. I then read the CM companion, and feel like I can do this. That was all I needed, was a methos that was going to work for me…and for them! We set a schedule which still needs tweaking, but in one week, she has been growing in leaps and bounds! This morning when I got the email about the forum, I was soo blessed, and soo excited about the fellowship, ideas and encouragment on here!
