Welcome to my World !
I am Ness ... I have been married to my Hubby for 10 years this year and we have 5 gorgeous children aged 8, 7, 5, 4 & 2. That will be all for us I am afraid but they certainly keep us busy and laughing ! I hope this blog to be one .. my diary of what goes on here ... but also full of photos and the funny things kids do and say. I am an avid scrapper and cross stitcher and love to read to my kids ... we try new things and I am just about to start a new teaching method that I am quite excited about!
Thanks for stopping by!

A Fresh Start
We have been on our homeschool journey for almost a year and a half, and while we started out with 'de-schooling' we ended up with what I thought to be our groove. Of late I feel I am putting too much pressure on the kids and myself for getting them 'up to grade'. Everyone says they learn at their own pace etc, but I know what my husband wants to see at the end of the day and I know what I want homschool to be and after a lot of internet searching and researching I found a program that seems to work like the Charlotte Mason method ... and it suplies links to all texts used and a curriculum outline that I can check off as I go. Now - I am a list person and I always wondered if I was having too much of one subject, not enough of another and none of the next! I always wanted to purchase for eg. the Sonlight Curriculum or soemthing such like that would be delivered to my door for me to pick up and follow but never had the $$$ to actually make a purchase. This site understands the financial difficulty a lot of homeschoolers are under (as we usually live off one income) and has put this all together! Perfect ! I am glad I stayed up til 1.20AM to find this info I am actually excited to start school on Monday ! I hope the kids will be too !! The only other hurdle I need to jump is my diary keeping of what we do on a daily or weekly basis ... so my joining here I am hoping to have a nice big record to show our acheivements!
Thanks for stopping by if you did !
