Homeschooling Is Life! - Hello Beautiful!

• Apr. 27, 2007 - Hello Beautiful!

Hey, isn't that a great way to be greeted? In Italian, that would be "Ciao Bella!"

I had the immense pleasure of being treated to a wonderful gift basket from Laura over at Ciao Bella Body.com and WoW, what a treat it is! (Thanks also to Beth over at www.ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com for hosting the give-away!)

Here, take a look:

And here is a close up of this wonderful soy-wax candle! It is citrus scented, and this is the first time I have ever had a soy candle. It's different! It's made lead free, petroleum free and also has an all cotton wick. Very cool.

Right now, Laura is even offering to YOU, dear Homeschooling Is Life blog readers, free shipping on orders over $50! Just in time for Mother's Day! Or "just because" for a special friend, or even for yourself! They even have a children's collection, and you will just be so excited about all the wonderful things they have to offer!

Just enter promo code: freeship at the checkout!

Laura, I am so enjoying this wonderful prize gift I received! Thank you so much!

Grazie! Arrivederci!

Homeschooling È Vita!

What a great gift!
Okay, call me really slow, but after reading your last entry on the front porch, I couldn't find anywhere to leave a comment. I clicked on everything there was to click on. If that "comment" button is there, then I'm more tired than I thought.
This year has been a real struggle for me internally over what our home school experience should look like this time around. I"ve blogged about it a couple of times. When I read Mary Hood and "I Saw the Angel in the Marbel" (Chris and Ellen Davis) those things fit us. They "feel" right. However, my outside influence you mentioned is right here in good ole blog world. I go to all of my friends blogs and see all the "schooling" they are doing, and my fear kicks in.
My 2nd problem is that I struggle with what to do if there is no preset plan. I don't seem to be very good at creating my own plan. But, I am working on it. I know my girls are learning; I just do not want to be guilty of neglecting studies they really should be doing. Will I ever relax and get used to it (and not worry about what everyone else is doing)?!!!

About Me

Hi There!

Welcome to my blog.
How nice of you to drop in. What is this all about you say? Well, take a look and see.

Just like the plants springing forth we are following the Son, soaking up the living water and pulling the weeds. We can't wait to see what will bloom THIS growing season!

Oh, and just for fun, I will tell you a little about me, since that is what this space is for. :)

I am a mother of four lovely kids who are perfectly human in every way. They are sinful, selfish, loving, happy, grumpy, excited, capable, frustratable, (I know, that isn't a word but sometimes I make up my own) and sometimes contrite, and just like their parents. But they are ours and we think they are all keepers!

We have homeschooled them all since birth with the trial and error method. I think they all have "made the grade" and they are now 16, 13, 11 and 9 years old.

We're not experts, except in the area of making mistakes and living to tell about them and hopefully learn from them! We hope you will find some encouragement here as you read about the seasons of our life as a homeschooling family.
