I’ve been feeling like we don’t “do enough,” and wondering if we should bag the whole thing bc I can’t seem to plan unit studies and stick to them. My daughter is 5, and Tuesday we read many, many books, made a Target run, did Playdoh, practiced counting by 5s, did some copy work and played in the snow. I guess we’re doing ok!

I can’t tell you how thankful I am for all the support I get from your posts. I treasure this information. I have two little boys (ages 4 and 6) and not a whole lot of support in my area (or even among our extended family) for our choice to homeschool! When I mentioned to a family member that I am not going to start my little boy’s 1st grade education until he is almost 8 (he is a December baby and I plan to start first grade with him in the Fall of the year that he will turn 8 in December) the look I received from this family member made me feel like a hopeless, lost soul, undeserving of raising children, let alone educating them. Reading your posts inspires me to walk our path with confidence and it gives me peace to see that there are possibilities of beauty and wonder even on those days when nothing happens the way I hoped it would! Then I have many days when my children pick up a book (even the 4 year old who cannot at all read) and curiously study it on their own quietly or when they pick up a broom to clean up a mess without receiving a hint or a reminder from me. I take a deep breath on days like that and I know I am doing what is best for my boys! Thank you for the inspiration and support! Please keep writing!

In fact, I am printing it as I type. I plan to hang it in our office, above our computer. I am there, drinking my coffee, each morning before the children wake up. It will be a nice daily reminder. Thank you for sharing your day with us!
