For us times are not set in stone just something to shoot towards. I often catch myself thinking….this isn’t enough. But it’s nice to read post like the one that started this thread. Less is More. Less is more. (I have to keep telling myself that.) If my kids are able to spend quality time with quality reading (living books) they will get so much more out of this. (HAHA I just realized in my schedule above that Spelling isn’t listed 🙂 But then again, that is what dictation is all about.) I’m talking to myself this year: SELF: LESS IS MORE 🙂 QUALITY OVER QUANTITY.
Just so you know it’s hard for me to not add things to our schedule. I was a public school kid, my mother-in-law and both my sister-in-laws work for public schools. So my kids often get compared to theirs. 🙁 So I often feel disqualified or that I’m missing something or that they won’t be prepared. However, I listened to Sonya Shafer tonight in her Discipleship Is audio and I remembered the whole reason I wanted to homeschool. To equip and prepare my children to glorify and honor Christ in everything! Not to make a certain grade, not how good they preform on standardized tests. How their hearts and character will reflect the gospel of Christ.
Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to share my heart.
