In memory of Missey, I started a notebook. It wasn't my idea, it actually came from the Ambleside support list I am on. I added two routines this week and printed out years 1-11 booklists from amblesideonline.org. When I die, if my children are still homeschool age, I would hope that they could continue homeschooling.
So I am printing out the schedules as well. I am also printing out how to homeschool, why I homeschool, some CM articles and adding the pagan flare to it as well. Yes, I am a pagan but, I love the rich literature of the CM style. I am adding books I would want them to read from all religions, books on our religion, and what I want them to know before they move out on their own. While religion itself is not important to me, I want my children to be tolerant of others beliefs and to find a path that brings them joy. I'll also have other books that I want them to read that are not on the lists. I'll post them here later.
I think I'll also have a section for parenting and have that come first, since parenting is a major part of homeschooling and comes first. I'll even have an introduction to me and I'll add letters to the boys and other people and update those every 6 months to a year. Something that, hopefully, they will have in memory of me. I am also putting all my poetry into one book with a story to accompany each one. That way, no one can sit and wonder why in the world I wrote that poem or why they are mostly morbib LMAO.
I better go for now. I am spring cleaning today.
