Tales from a first year homeschooling Mama

• Feb. 1, 2009 - Show and Tell Fridays with Mary

Since I just joined Show and Tell with Canadagirl and its Sunday I will post a bit about our family for this Friday that just past. I am mother of three children - ages almost 6, almost 3 and 5 months old. We will just be starting to school our almost three yr old, and have been schooling our oldest since she was about 3 yrs. We schooled all through our summer since my son was born in August, so we took our summer break until October. I started using Saxon Math with her in June 2008 and phonics as well. We are in the process of trying out Before Five in A Row with my youngest. I love being home with my children and teaching them about life!

My husband travels quite a bit for work. I also work from home and am business owner (I will save that for another show and tell week). We have a very busy household since I also have younger siblings that I a take responsibility for - they are 17 and 15. Neither one lives with us right now, but usually at some point they are. I look forward to meeting new people and getting some great ideas for our school!

Hi there! I'm in BC and always enjoy meeting fellow Canadian homeschoolers. I used FIAR with my oldest(now 11) and really liked it.

Welcome to HSB! I look forward to reading about your business and other show and tells. Your children are incredibly beautiful (I'm partial to dark-eyed, dark-haired children, coming as I do from Scandinavian genes. My DH has dark eyes and dark hair and I was so thrilled to get 3 out of 4 children dark-eyed! My youngest is blond but has hazel eyes.
See you around! Come say hi!
You'll have to scroll down to find my Show and Tell, since I posted my Bible Challenge post already.

I am so glad you are join in on S&T. I look forward to getting to know you as time goes by. I can't wait to find out what kind of bussiness you have. I am in the transition of making and selling different crafts I make. But at the same time I am trying to make it not over take my other jobs like mommyhood, wife, hs mom and so on. [0;
