Hi friends,
Thank you so much for faithfully stopping by the Porch! We ALL appreciate you!
I certainly have enjoyed posting my thoughts on unschooling over these last few years. Shucks, I don't even know how long it's been for sure! At any rate, writing is one thing that helps me to know where I am "at" on a subject, much the same as talking out a problem or opinion. It really helps solidify it in my mind when it is verbalized or written out.
Coreopsis
There are so many facets to life and homeschooling that I can honestly say that some days I don't even know WHAT I think of! LOL! But the fact that we are going through this journey day by day is such a gift and a blessing. Even the hard times produce gifts; gifts of patience, maturity, perseverance. So much to learn, so little time!
Echinacea
With that in mind I will get to the point of my column today. I hate to say it, but this is my last column. Even though it has only been a once a week task, my time seems shorter and shorter with my kids. They are growing up so fast and are now needing more of my time instead of less---funny, I thought that the older they got the more independent they would get. Well, that is true to a degree, but there is so much to impart to them and experience with them and time races on. I decided that I am paring down this small part of my life and many other small parts that have become too big when I put them all together.
Campanula
I don't want to miss out on any teachable moments or memory making events. My column didn't really take much away from my life, it added a lot; I just decided for now, I am done talking about unschooling. Someday I might just write a book about it though, maybe when all my kids are grown, Lord willing!
Can you tell that I feel a lot more comfortable with a camera in my hands than I do sitting at a keyboard? I don't have to worry about spelling or apostrophes!
Wild Four O'clock
So in a nutshell, that is what is up and I do hope you have enjoyed my ramblings! I have enjoyed getting each and every comment. I do hope that you will continue to visit all our Porch columnists and do stop by my personal blogs when you can! I will try to keep those updated occasionally.

Thanks again, and remember to pray for all the good folks who run HSB and The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. They do a fabulous job and they all have their hands full at home too. Praise the Lord for His workings in all of our lives!
Bless you, and Happy Homeschooling!
