The Homeschool Mother's Journal- week of 2/28-3/5

In my life this week...

I've had a very good past two weeks. There are a lot of exciting things happening and God is blessing us immeasurably. I can't give any details yet...but soon I promise! 31 Rubies (http://www.thirtyonerubies.com/) went live on Tuesday and our response has been great. If you haven't checked it out yet, you are missing out!

In our homeschool this week...

We are moving right along. We finished our NC unit and began our Around the World unit; focusing on the United States right now. We finished our Animal unit and are beginning to plan a trip to the NC zoo this month. See my post, Mid-Year Reflections, from earlier this week to learn more about what we've been up to.

Places we're going and people we're seeing...

Today we started our seashore unit in Science and depending on the weather I hope to make a trip to the beach at some point this week.

My favorite thing this week was...

Good news!!! But I just can't spill the beans yet! My next favorite thing was going to Friendly's for ice cream after the girls' soccer game. Lots of laughs and good times.

What's working/not working for us...

I just really really wish we had more of a homeschool community around here. We get lonely sometimes :(

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have...

This morning (yes, even though it was a Saturday) as I sat down to begin school with the girls I realized again just how much I LOVE being given the opportunity to teach them at home. I actually said out loud "I love teaching you guys at home". Some days it's difficult, but it's so very rewarding.
