This is my first entry on homeschoolblogger. I love the internet and thought this would be an interesting and fun way to record our own homeschooling adventure.

We are into our second year of homeschooling and I still consider that we are new to it, but I'm also not new to homeschooling.... and I know that doesn't make sense!But before I was married I worked for a homeschooling organization and used to help homeschooling families as part of my job description. I was also involved in writing a history curriculum for New Zealand homeschoolers.

But even after those years of working among homeschoolers, I still find that the theory of homeschooling and the actual day to day reality of homeschooling your own children is very different... and I find it a lot more challenging than I used to think it was back when I was single. Oh the wisdom of youth!

But I truly wouldn't have it any other way, even though I've questioned our decision to homeschool many times. I think I've gotten through that doubting period and am ready to dive in with enthusiasm and drive and energy. My children love it and it is so encouraging to see them developing and learning and excelling. So we're in this journey for the long haul, and we can't wait to see what it brings for our family.
