Frenchie Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hello all! I'm new to the boards and thought I'd drop in and introduce myself.:seeya: My name is Francey. I'm new to the homeschool scene. Married six years now to my college sweetheart. I'm 15 wks pg and I've a five year-old son, Jack, doing K at home with mostly Five in a Row, Singapore Early Bird, and fun games, a three year-old, Rex, learning the alphabet and numbers, a waddling one-year old, Katerina, and our two lovely mutts Olive and Agnes. We all live in a cozy 2 bedroom loft in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan (life time New Yorker--saving for a bigger space). We decided to homeschool after doing the completely out of control New York City preschool scene with Jack. I'm a Sagittarius, worshipper of 80's dance music, avid thrift store shopper, crunchy, mostly-paleo-but-Nutella-bingeing-when-not, marathon running, pacifist Christian. I signed up to learn more about curriculum, find inspiration, and get support from some kindred, and not-so-kindred spirits. Hope to learn more about all of you as I navigate the boards and I look forward to getting to know you! Have a great day. -Francey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k2bdeutmeyer Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Welcome! You're already talking about Nutella - I think you'll fit in just fine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Welcome Francie! I'm not paleo, but have just given up wheat for better health, so the Paleo diet interests me, since that is more towards how I should eat. I loved doing Five in a Row with my kids when they were little, such good memories! :001_smile: this is a nice place, you'll fit right in.

Starr Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Welcome! I wish we had gotten a cozy loft in the meat packing district long ago in our village days. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarfoot Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Welcome! We live in a different Manhattan, but I like yours, too. ;) I'm a dog-loving Scorpio, who's trying to be more Paleo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Welcome! I wish we had gotten a cozy loft in the meat packing district long ago in our village days. :D Thank you! We love our space, and it certainly feels huge after our 600 sq. ft walkup in the East Village when we were first married, but we are out growing this apartment fast! We love our neighborhood, especially with the new High Line Park, but want to move further into the West Village--where there aren't quite as many night clubs.:001_smile: I'm just glad we get to stay downtown, which I don't think we'd be doing if we hadn't chosen homeschooling. When did you live in the city? Did you have kids? Desperately looking for advice on homeschooling in the city! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
