Forgive me, but I'm still on the question from yesterday, so I have to briefly address that first! After working in the school system for a few years, and meeting a couple of home school moms, I felt "God tugging on my heart." My husband and I both soon agreed that we were being led to be a home school family. To us, home schooling wasn't "an option," but "the option!"

Concerning today's question, I've just completed one year, so I realize I'm no expert! However, I know our Lord is revealing more and more to me each day! I also look for other's input whenever I get the chance--many people who have been at this for more than a decade.

The main aspect that comes to mind is making sure I'm right with Him, and my attitude is right before we even start our day! To me, if the heart's not right, all the schedules and lesson plans can go right out the window!

I look forward to taking a closer look at comments made to this post.

Thanks so much for hosting this!!

This is great! I found you through Wordpress's "topic search" and other WP folks who had participated Tuesday evening... Wednesday I wanted to participate but didn't find the time... so finally today I took the time and went ahead and answered the previous day's topics too! I will be back tomorrow.
Now I can't wait to check out the other posts for some encouragement of my own!

Love your design, Randi. Looks great. :) Hope I can get out of boxes and back to homeschooling soon!

Thanks for visiting my blog! And for the comment. I think that would be great, to "know" someone for when we move.

Our schooling direction has changed as of now and we have gotten clear direction about it, which you can read about on my Colorado Dreaming page, if you want. I am going to put a small post about it on my Journey page. But I will be homeschool ing in a couple of years with my younger two and am excited about that day.

Thanks so much again for stopping by. Which direction are you from Westcliffe? And is there a good homeschool support group in that area? I tried to find out but didn't have any luck.
