I was invited to be one of the guest bloggers in So You Call Yourself a Homeschooler's series on methods and approaches to homeschooling.

HoD has really helped in the defining of our homeschool and I hope that what I've shared helps other consider it as the great resource it is.

How wonderful! I enjoyed reading your post!

Thank you so much for sharing this! I invite all of you to read leimarie's story, as it will most certainly resonate with you like it did with me! I especially found myself a kindred spirit with leimarie's thoughts here...
...I was surprised that seeing the daily schedule in each of their guides didn’t make me feel behind, it gave me a clear outline for the day and an easy way to mark our progress. The children don’t feel like they have hours ahead of them as they place Post-Its over each subject block we finish. The smaller chunks of material over a period time were helping them retain what they were learning without over-killing with repetition. Having them each in a different guide didn’t make my day longer, it made it efficient...

We have found this to be true in our day as well, and I LOVE your post-it notes idea! I also wanted to say that I am so very sorry at the loss of your baby daughter. May the Lord be very near to you, as I know this loss is always a part of a mama's heart, though we go on. Your 3 dc's pictures and your picture of you and dh at the top are so beautiful - what a lovely family you have, leimarie! Your verse at the top of your page is one of my very favorites too 'Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,..." Love that!

Love in Christ,
Julie
