I have been teaching my 3 children at home since my first was born. When I was going to college to become a teacher, I heard about someone homeschooling.  I loved the idea.  As soon as I heard of it, I knew if I ever was blessed with children, I would explore the option of homeschooling.  I read about alot of the curriculms that were available back then.  I fell in love with Charlotte Masons' ideas.  She wrote about spending time with children and helping them get excited about nature, music, books, God, and mini lessons.  I combined her ideas with the whole language approach that I learned in college.  I developed a great teaching style full of the arts and literature.  I love learning with my children.
