Fresh Starts...and the Joys of Today

I've been blogging about life in Alaska for a couple of years and it never occurred to me to start another blog until a few weeks ago it crossed my mind to start blogging about our family's recent venture into homeschooling. I have plenty on my plate: why add more? Well, the thought has persisted and I haven't been able to shake it, so here I am. My thought is to drop in every day or so and just share how things are going on our homeschooling journey. It is mighty personal...don't know if you will find this interesting. If nothing else it will be a record for my kids (from mom's perspective!) of the homeschooling journey.

Today I was so excited to get an email from a mom I ran into at the Homer Library. I saw her checking out every single book they had on Egypt and had to crack a joke about us homeschooling families "cleaning out the library," since it was just over a month ago that I checked out every single Egypt book! Anyways, we got to talking and I guess her daughter, who is the same age as my daughter, is studying ancient civilizations this year, same as us. So we have decided we're going to get together and do some activities together! I'm excited! I've been wanting to collaborate but haven't found anyone else who is studying the same things as my kids (same level, same book, etc.).
