Homeschooling Is Life! - Unschooling and Discouraged?

• Sep. 23, 2008 - Unschooling and Discouraged?

Hey Friends!

Are you a relaxed homeschooler? Are you wishing you were? I've got a proposition for ya! I have written a new e-Book to encourage you and I need some help. If you would consider looking over my e-Book and giving me a quick critique' I'd be ever so thankful! It's about 30 pages I think, but there are several photos so it's not heavy reading. I'd like to have your comments back in a couple of weeks, at the latest. Just leave me a comment and let me know so I can send you a copy. For security reasons, you can use the message feature on the blog if you are a member. Otherwise, be sure to disguise your email address so you don't start getting spammed! (Not by me, of course!)

Please, only do this if you can fit it in. I don't want you to take time away from your family for me. They are WAY more important than this is, BUT you might need to read it. It could just be just what will lift your spirits and encourage you!

Thanks!

Nancy

I would be glad to help you out. I would read this at night when all my family is in bed. Being preg I am not sleeping very well these days. We are very relaxed in our homeschooling. Almost to the point of unschooling sometimes. :-)

Hey, I would love a chance to look at your views on homeschooling in your new book!
Congratulations on writing it!

I have written four e-books so far.
"The Word of God on Healing"
"The "Word of God on Being a Woman, a Wife, and a Mother"
"The Word of God on Prosperity"
and
"The Parables of Jesus Christ"

If you send me your ebook, I woul love to send you one of mine!
Would you like one?
I think they would make excellent copywork for homeschoolers>

I stumbled upon your blog and think the Lord sent me here! I would love to read your book and give feedback, and hopefully gain a little encouragement along the way. ;-) I'm a homeschool mom of five, whose kiddos are a little younger than yours (my oldest is 14) and I need to hear from someone farther down the pike that I'm gonna make it, LOL.

You can email me the book at jencov1 at hot mail dot com. You can also find me blogging at (no spaces) do the next thing dot blogspot dot com
Thanks and God bless,
Jennifer

I would love to review it as well! We are very relaxed, and I always love encouragement in that method as well as being challenged to focus on the most important thing!

I'd be reading it before bed (when I *usually* have a little time! ; )

Thank you!

Okay, now I'm thinking that you had the wrong person look at your book.
If you wanted someone to find something wrong with it, I shouldn't have been chosen.

Your book is excellent. It is very encouraging.
It is put together extremely well.
I really love the pictures!

You should have NO problem selling this book.

Congratulations on such a great job!
If you would like, I would be happy to blog about it.

Posted by Flybaby

I like using the Charlotte Mason method, and I am anything but an "unschooler". I find, for us, that intentional, gentle, daily small bites work well for long-term learning.

That said, I'd love to read and review your e-book, if you want me to. Just let me know. Thanks.

Nancy, I would be thrilled to read your ebook, if you still need more input. You have a lot of takers so far, though, so if you don't need more help, I will eagerly look forward to purchasing it.

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 17, 14, 12 and 10 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.
