I am a homeschooling mom to two dd's.  We live out in the country in the NW.  I guess my biggest goal in homeschooling is to help my children in their relationship with Christ.  Sometimes I feel that public school regime creeping up.  I feel like if we are not learning in textbooks and drilling all the time we are not accomplishing what we need to do. 

Yesterday we took a break from the norm and my 11year old dd learned how to make bread.  It was sooo beautiful, and she had a great time.  My 9 year old dd made stew for dinner.  I was so proud of them.  It takes me a lot not to just jump in and take over when things don't progress as fast as I think they should. 

I pray that God would show me the important things that we need to learn, and that I would learn to let go of the things that are just things.
