I haven’t linked up with Sue over at The Homeschool Chick, for the Homeschool Mother’s Journal in several weeks. Life just got in the way and I didn’t make time to write in the journal. So I am once again joining in. Sue started this great link-up about what we do during our homeschool week. Homeschool Mother’s journal is an awesome way of remembering how our week of homeschooling went.
In my life this week…
I have been doing my best to help my awesome husband with a messy task. We have had septic tank issues and it has required a lot of digging. I have also been helping a friend by watching her children. They are awesome kids and get along wonderful with my children. I have also been doing a lot of spring cleaning. I am enjoying getting rid of the clutter in our home.
In our homeschool this week…
We have started our new math curriculum with the younger kids. I have gone back to Bob Jones with Samuel and Claire. They are loving the new math and it has definitely made school a lot easier with them. It is so wonderful to see the kids so excited about doing math!
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
The younger kids do not know it yet, but I will be taking them to the WNC Nature Center next week. Actually, we will be going on my birthday, April 6th. They have been asking to go back for a year or so. My oldest daughter will be going next week with the 4-H group, so I thought I would tag along with the younger two kids. I am actually excited about it as well. I can’t wait to take some pictures to share with everyone!
My favorite thing this week was…
My favorite thing this week was the help from our neighbors and church family. We are truly blessed with the friends we have made. I am truly amazed of all of the offers of help when we had a difficult time. Praising God daily for our family and friends.
What’s working/not working for us…
Right now, everything seems to be going pretty good. I am still waiting for the Hooked on Phonics to arrive, but other than that, school is back on schedule and we are enjoying everything we do!
Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…
We have been homeschooling for 8 years and we really love it. It works for our family and has definitely brought us closer together. I love my kids and really do enjoy having them home with me.

Romans 12:2
Sounds like a great week =)
Sounds great! I just remembered we have passes to our local natural science museum. I'll have to take the kids real soon!
I love that verse. Especially how I get to be transformed – I don't have to transform myself!
Kids being excited about math is wonderful. I've missed a few weeks, too, and its nice to link up again.
Spring cleaning and decluttering- something I need to do! I made the mistake of watching Hoarders so now if I see a pile anywhere I go into freak out mode! lol I figure if I can learn to part with some of our books, I can part with anything. 🙂
Sounds like you're having a very productive week.
Homeschooling for 8 years and you love it. That is so good to hear. I love your bible verse as it puts into perspective your task of homeschooling as a virtuous life that your teaching to your children.
Thank you for posting that scripture. I love it and it's so encouraging.
I found your blog through the Homeschool Chick and was just stopping by to say hi!
I have also changed our math curriculum several times over the past few years. It's so nice when they finally enjoy math again.
