Well I have been trying to sign up for Homeschoolblogger for months I am so happy to finally get my account!  My name is Denita and I am wife to Brandon and mommy to Chelsea 13, Christopher 11, Tristan 8, Phoenix 4, Gryphen 3 and Liam who visited us for a day and waits for us in Heaven.

We have been homeschooling since 1999 and have used mostly Charlotte Mason and relaxed schooling methods.  This year is the second year of homeschooling where I also work outside the home.  We have started using SOS as a foundation for my older three children who supplement with alot of literature and nature study.  With my youngest two we are using FIAR and 100 easy lessons.  We have fun learning geography with extra story discs we have made with pictures of friends and family around the world. 

These days are much more difficult than when I was home full time, and these past few weeks since losing Liam have been completely unbearable.  I am happy to be able to have this blog as a way to express what's going on in our life and hopefully to make some new friends.
