I am a wife to a Navy Man that I love deeply. God gave a good man. He is currently stationed over seas. While my daughter and I are here in the US. I am planning on homeschooling our little girl and any other future children we may have. I feel it is best to homeschool her since we are a military family my Husband and I don't feel that it is right to bounce our child and future children from school to school. I believe the Education level will better them in the long run if homeschooled.
I had always wanted to be homeschooled growing up but I didn't get to have that opportunity, for my Father died as I was to be heading into second grade. So my mom wasn't able to homeschool us as they had planned. She had to find a job to support me and my sister. when she did she ended up finding a job at a christian school working in the lunch room. So my sister and I had to start going to school there were I had to stay back because the learning level was much higher then what I had learned in my prevous school. After 3 years of going to the christian school they ended making go back to the school I was origanally in then. at the age of 12 my mother remarried and we moved again like 3 more times. As for this it did not help my schooling any. But I have and am educating myself as life goes on.
My husband grew up homeschooled. He is one of the brightest men I know and I believe this is why. He is very loving and supportive in what I want to do in life, and I him. As I mentioned before he is currently serving overseas and I miss him dearly. It is very tough to be so far away from him. But the Lord is giving me strength every day to get by. He has giving me so much to do since my husband has been gone and family and friends to love and care for. I thank God for my family and friends cause if I didn't have them I would be lost in what to do. This is our first real deployment from each other and I am very Greatful for the time I get to spend with our loved ones untill his return home for we wont be able to come back home again for our Navel Base here is closing down So God is giving me and our Daughter the time to spend with each other while he is away.
Our Daughter is 2 years old and is a joy to have. She make me so happy. She is already got her Abc almost down and her numbers from 1-5. She is close to being potty trained. However we have a little attitude to work throught but nothing that I can't handle. I bless God for here. Cause when I am at home alone and lost in thought almost on the verge of tears. She gives me the biggest hug and kiss and say mommanie you ok? And I tell her yes and then she will smile and do something funny just to make me laugh. She started calling me mommy till I moved back by mine and my husbands parents and she started calling me Melanie cause her Aunts and Uncles call me Melanie considering they are around her age, she figured that is who I was to be called so my mother in law and my mother and everyone else helped me to get her to call me mommy. I believe she is just got so confused that she started to call me mommanie. I don't blame her one bit and I think mommanie is one of the cutest names. I feel very unique with it LOL.
However this is just a bit of me and my past and my goals |

I agree, Mommanie is a VERY cute name! Don't you love the sweet things that 2 year olds say?
Good luck with homeschooling.
