Welcome!!
Thanks for visiting our blog! I created this as a way for family and friends to keep up with what's going on with us. I am very excited about homeschooling Brenna, as well as sharing our life, and I will try to post at least once a week, maybe more.

"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better."

Brenna - getting so big
"Children are not trains. If a train does not reach every station on time, it will be late reaching it's ultimate destination. But a child can be late at any "station", and can even change the entire route of the learning process, and still reach every area of learning."

Brenna LOVES watermelon!!
My schooling not only failed to teach me what it professed to be teaching, but prevented me from being educated to an extent which infuriates me when I think of all I might have learned at home by myself.

shut off from the world, but rather a way for them to
participate more fully in it." -author unknown

You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.

"The perpetual testing of public school children is like a gardener constantly pulling his plants up by the roots to see if they are growing."(unknown)

"You can not make a child walk before they are ready.
You can not make a child read before they are ready.
You can however make a child think they are dumb or learn to hate reading if you push them before they are capable." -Stephanie, Throwing Marshmallows

"The best way to give a child values is to spend time with him and to let him see how you live your life. You act in a way that reflects what you believe, you talk to him about things that matter and you tell him about you, your life, and your choices. Your child will know you better because he has spent meaningful time with you, learning, serving and growing together. This builds a family that can last forever. That's a benefit of homeschooling that makes every minute worthwhile." From the book "Homeschooling - Take a Deep Breath, You Can Do This"

To make a pot Brenna needed to dig about 3 feet to find clay. Good try girl.
