Yeah, it’s that time of year again. The kids are just around the corner from school, and I’m feeling my age. What I mean is that for one of the first years in ages, I’m not wishing I were homeschooling. Last year I had to do it under duress, with a teen who seethed about it, and ultimately refused to do or learn anything. This year, I’m expecting, while taking care of an extremely loud and hyperactive 1 year old, and I’ve spent the summer breaking up fights. No, I don’t currently miss homeschooling, though I still wish that life were peaceful enough that I could be induced to want to do it again. I must say I loved homeschooling back when we did it.<\/p>\n
With that in mind, I would like to take a moment to give credit to some of the really good homeschooling blogs and sites, and credit to those who have stuck with it. I hope that those readers who homeschool will find them helpful or at least inspirational, and I hope that those who do not will at least enjoy the read, and maybe find the words of other parents useful in their own lives.<\/p>\n
Barefoot and Pregnant<\/a> is one of my favorites. This blog is personal, fun, and a pleasure to read. Valerie is a Catholic homeschooler with great resource links, and she sounds like the kind of person I’d want to be neighbors with.<\/p>\n Anne at Our Homeschool<\/a> has some good news<\/a>. I can’t help being excited with her, since I haven’t yet had an ultrasound, and am looking forward to it. She also has an extremely beautiful blog… something aesthetically inspiriting about it.<\/p>\n
