About Me

I'm a christian and a wife and a mother of 2 boys whom we've always homeschooled. We live on 6 acres and Dad works from home. Homeschooling provides us our dream lifestyle. Our philosophy is relaxed, eclectic homeschooling, better known as "If it works do it, if it doesn't work stop doing it." I love to hear about what works for others and I love to share what works for us. Welcome to our adventures!

If I had a blog...

My favorite day of the year!

Summertime is officially here at the Desrosiers household!

Yesterday we filled up the pool - my favorite day of the year is watching the pool fill up!  It means that the lazy days of summer are officially here!

It means that the rains of June have stopped and we have the hot, hot weather that can only mean - get near water!

It means that I have relaxed....my kids have relaxed and we are all - well you know RELAXED!

It means that I can think about nothing and not feel any guilt about not thinking about nothing. 

It means I can watch my kids and just watch my kids for the sake of watching my kids - no hidden learning style agenda. Ha ha!

I love this time of year because it gives me prespective.  It gives me hope, I usually see in my kids all the learning and developing they have done this last year.

I love the hope that summer brings in all that there is yet to learn and discover and that some of those things don't need "lesson plans".

Did I mention I love summer? 

I love that email and blogging and all things computer have slowed down.  It feels like the "virtual world" is on vacation and also needs this time of renewal.

I love that friends go on holidays and that although we miss them we get the excitement of connecting again when they come back.  Or friends that we don't get to see all the time have the time now to come visit us giving us a chance to catch up with each other and enjoy the days of summer together.

I love that meals are simplier and the household tasks seem fewer or less necessary.

Yup....I love summer!

I wish the slowness of summer could stay all year long but alas before I know it the heticness of the fall season will be upon us, but for now you can catch me at poolside.....relaxing!

We haven't got a pool, but the kids have had the lazy daisy sprinkler thing out, been on the neighbour's slipNslide, and been to the nearby waterpark - summer has definitely arrived.

That said....I *do* love winter -- I love a good snowstorm, winds howling around the house and nothin' but white out the window.... :-)
