I can't believe it's been a year and a half since I've been back to my blog. Clearly, I've gone through an extended period of being pulled in too many directions.
Needless to say, A LOT has happened in all of that time! I continue to work part-time at the bookstore, and there've been some health issues among the family (nothing too serious, but energy-draining).
About this time last year, I was in high gear working with a few visionary moms in our area to start a large-scale, multi-subject co-op like one we experienced at our old house. We opened it in September, ending up with about 25 families and around 60 kids! Our kids have had activities and instruction in things like cooking, art, American government, poetry, drama, ancient history, gymnastics, etc. and I think it's been successful (everyone seems to be blessed by the whole program). All of these were parent-taught with each of us sharing our special gifts and talents. However, with the need to hold sign-ups before everyone disappears for summer, the push is back on to get people involved and classes lined up. God met every need for this first year, I'm sure everything will work out as He intends.
I'm sure anyone who used to visit my blog has given up on me, but I'm back. My schedule is no less crazy, but I'm glad to be taking a few minutes to get back in the blogging groove. I've got lots to share!

Isn't it crazy that it really can all go so quickly and you wonder where you've been?
I am commmenting to as many bloggers as possible about the situation that has recently risen over homeschooling here in California. A serious threat has been made to the legality of homeschooling and who can and can't. It is a scary thing, yet God is so much bigger than some judges in a courtroom. Please first begin to pray that homeschooling will remain as it has been here in California, and that this will be dealt with quickly without families coming under undo attack or litagation. Visit HSLDA's website for information and to sign the petition as well. Thank you and God Bless, Jennifer

Thanks for the comment you left on my site. I know that we are all busy with schooling and family, but it's nice to know that there is someone else out there who also works and struggles with that, too.
I look forward to more of your views on things in the time to come....
