In the Beginning......

This blogging is a new thing for me, but since I love what happens in "Christie's School" (most of the time), and after almost completing 11 years of teaching my kids at home I am a bit sad that the sun is beginning to set on that season of my life. I thought I would share the adventures of my journey and post pictures from some of our adventures. (when I learn to accomplish what kids figure out in 10 minutes!)

Why in the WORLD did even think about home schooling our little girls? That is a fair question............which I'm not going to answer for awhile. haha

It was terrifying to me in the beginning, to slapped in the face with the tremendous responsibility of teaching them to read! Reading is the door to learning and the breadth to which that door was open depended on ME! Yes, I had a bachelor's degree; in education even. I also had a 2 year old who was busy, busy, busy whom I had to keep from distracting her sister. The solution? Naptime!

If you are curious about what we do or how we do it, I hope that some of your questions will be answered. This will be a fun journey for all of us!

So..........get comfortable, take a deep breath, and come join me for just a bit.

I need to end this so that tomorrow isn't a pj day at school! (aren't you jealous?)
