Homeschooling Is Life! - Catching up with y'all!

• Apr. 25, 2008 - Catching up with y'all!

Hi Friends!

It has been very different this week for us. You see, instead of my usual hustle and bustle with four very energetic kids all around me, it has been deathly quiet. Now, don't get me wrong; I can use a dose of quiet now and then. But sometimes it's a bit hard to get used to!

A dear friend of mine "kidnapped" all my kids for most of the week! She is a wonderful homeschooling mom...I mean former homeschooling mom. All her kids have flown the nest! She was feeling a bit lonely and wanted to borrow some kids. (Actually, she put them to WORK! Can you imagine that??) Well, she called me the second day they were there and said they were already DONE with several tasks that they set out to do...before 9:00 a.m. I was flabbergasted! (And proud of them too.)

While they were being well taken care of I had the pleasure of being interviewed Wednesday morning (early!) by Cindy Rushton! I have the delight of being a vendor in her Ultimate Homeschool Expo! She invited me to talk about my "Haircuts For Little Men" eBook, and it was so much fun. (Although I was barely awake and all that. LOL. It was quite a fun time though. Cindy, I'll talk with you anytime!)

Right now her preview chats are FREE! You can even go in to the conference room and listen to past chats which are amazing! It is right here: (CLICK HERE)

If you get the chance to listen to some of them, be sure to listen to Lynda Coats. She is a veteran homeschooling mom who gets you back to the Biblical basics found in Deuteronomy. (Teaching them when you sit, stand, walk etc. ALL the time!) Many new homeschooling families can get confused with all the "options" we have now. Get back to the basics, and I don't mean the 3 R's. (Actually the one "R" and the "W" and the "A"! LOL!) I was completely blessed by her talk. Thank you Lynda!

Some other conferences you don't want to miss are coming up. (Get your ticket so you won't miss out!) So many people who blog right here on HSB are going to be featured like Jill Novak AND her son Eric (HSB Tech Support!)

I hope you can all get in on the conferences. I have enjoyed just having the computer on and listening to some fantastic encouragement while I work around the house.

Click HERE to get your ticket!!

Happy Homeschooling, Unschooling, whatever your brand is called. :)

Nancy

Hey, that must have been exciting! How is your e-book going? I'm finally actually writing one so I am curious.

What a fun friend to kidnap your kids for the week! What a blessing, though I know you'll be glad to have them back.
Enjoy them-

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.
