An encouraged mom.

I just have to say that I am super encouraged this morning. We are finishing up most courses here and it is just the end of April. We have had a few challenges once or twice but it has been a great and rewarding year. I am glad that we chose to homeschool. My children are thriving and our home is more the way I would like it. I am also encouraged because a friend and I spent the weekend at a homeschool conference. I now have my books planned for all three kids next year (I am planning on starting Keiran in Kindergarten right along with Gemma). We also took in two of the seminars this weekend and they were inspiring to say the least. I am refreshed as things are slowing down and am ready to prep for next year. It takes a bit to figure out curriculum which fits each child but this year was easier as we knew more what was out there and what we needed. Can't wait to post our new books.
