Homeschooling in the Ozarks
Aug. 14, 2007 - Day One of My Homeschooling Blog and Week One of the New School Year

I guess the best place to start would be with our family.  My husband and I are the parents of 4 boys ranging in age from 21 - 7.  This is our 16th year of homeschooling.  I had to count that one up.  I can't believe we've been at it that long.  We have 2 in college now, one who is just transferring to OSU and one who is still in the local community college.  Of the other two we have one in the 9th grade and one in the second. 

We homeschool rather eclectically though we rely mostly on Ambleside Online and tend to follow a mostly Charlotte Mason style.  We are just starting the new school year and, so far, things are going relatively smoothly and the work is being done in a timely manner.  Of course smooth is not an adjective that last very long in a house with 4 boys. 

Still it’s better than the alternative.  Our years of homeschooling are winding down and soon it will be just my husband and I.  It will be different.  I don’t know how well we will deal with the quiet.

I'm old enough that my husband had to drag me kicking and screaming into the computer age but I think this may be fun.
