Hello! I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. I looked and didn't see a place to post an introduction, but it just seemed rude to me to start talking without even saying hello first.
I'm sorta new here. Actually, I've read here off and on for a long time, and every once in a while I'll see something that I would like to respond to or have a question that I'd like to ask, but then I realize that I've never actually posted anything here before so I just move on. Finally I decided that I really needed to just jump in.
So, anyway, as my username says, I'm a mom to just one child. That in itself makes homeschooling a little more challenging. Sometimes I think it would be so much easier if I had 6 kids. But then I do a reality check and remember that if I think I'm stressed out and overworked now, I can't even imagine how I would feel if my husband and I were outnumbered!
We're a traveling family. We like to go see the world and experience new things. In fact, I'm a travel agent in addition to being a homeschool mom. This fall, we will be staying in the Caribbean from the end of August through the middle of October. I can't wait, especially since temperatures here in Ohio in the mornings are dipping down into the 50s already. I HATE cold.
Oh, and I suppose I should go ahead and acknowledge the fact that I don't strictly follow a classical method. While I really like and appreciate the classical method, in reality I'm much too laid back to make it work well. That's part of the reason why I haven't posted before. But, you guys have a lot of great advice and seem really supportive, so hopefully you won't mind some of my crazy ways. :001_smile:
