We really did have a small party today, with just our family, in honor of L turning 3 years old. But, I'm also participating in the Ultimate Blog Party! I'm a little nervous ... I've never been to a blog party before. I get shy in large crowds, so you'll probably find me somewhere along the edge of the crowd, talking to a few people. After I get a little more comfortable, you might hear my laughter ring out just a little too loud at times. It just takes me awhile to warm up, and then people probably wish I would shut up.
Anyway, sorry for babbling on. If you stick around and visit me, you'll find that I do tend to babble at times.
Speaking of babbling, you're probably wondering who I am. Let me introduce myself. My name is April and I'm a Christian homeschooling mom of 7. (Yes, we know what causes that.) My husband, Steve, and I live in rural Kansas and we love it! (No, it's not flat. No, I've never seen a tornado.) He is my best friend and I love being a mother!
This is my homeschool blog -- our family's blog. Here I blog about the silly things my kids do, the things we're learning in our homeschool, and our attempts at the homestead lifestyle. I also write reviews on homeschool curricula, products and books. I love sharing the things I've learned about homeschooling and other homeschool tips.
The stats on our family are over in the sidebar, but I'll recap them here. Steve and I are in our mid-30s, and debating over whether we are "middle-aged" or not. We've been married almost 15 years, and we have 7 children. Their initials and ages are: A 13 yo, R 12 yo, C 9 yo, J 8 yo, M 5 yo, L 3 yo, and Baby G 6 months. (Initials are used in an attempt to protect the innocent. After all, it's not their fault their Mom blogs about them. One day 3 yo L is going to wish this blog never existed. She's trouble, but so much fun to post about.)
If you came here from the Ultimate Blog Party, I hope you'll come back and visit again. If you haven't heard of the Ultimate Blog Party, wander on over and visit some other blogs. If you decide to join in, you can win some really great prizes!

- #1 the $100 gift certificate to either Pedal Cars and Retro or A Rocking Horse To Love provided by 5 Minutes for Mom. Have you looked at the great stuff they sell at these sites? My kids would love this stuff!

Trusting in Him,
April
