    Hello! My name is Kelli & I have been married for 6 years the end of this month! We have 6 children (5 here & one in heaven.) I just started homeschooling this school year. My oldest already graduated last year and my son is in 10th but wanted to stay in public. I now homeschool my 4th, 2nd, and PreK children. I love it! Watching the look on their faces when they finally get it or the joy of mastering certain things is like watching them take their first steps! I study the bible and am in a group for that... that is one of my biggest hobbies. I also do daycare but only watch one child. She has been with me for about 1 1/2 years. She is just like one of the family now! :D I love photography and do that on the side also. One thing I have found with my venture of homeschooling is.... I LEARN A LOT! Things I either forgot or were never taught or just didn't ever understand! It is amazing.

    I look forward to meeting all of you!
    Thanks!
    Kelli

    Hi Kelly,

    Welcome!
    I'm Sandra, mom to two boys. We have been homeschooling for over 5 years and enjoy it! We live in San Antonio, Texas.

    You're right, as hoemschooling parents we learn right along with our children about things we did not know. That is one of the many rewards of being a homeschooling parent.

    Welcome! I'm homeschooling a 4th grader, one in K starting tomorrow and one prek (K4?) as well. We've been homeschooling for 2 years now and love it!

    You're so totally right - one of the greatest "side effects" of homeschooling has been all *I* have learned! Just ask me about the Great Wall of China! :lol:

    You'll love it here. :) Glad to have you!

    Welcome to the spot!

    I am with you on how much you can learn as a hs mom. My tidbit for yesterday was...all snakes can swim...yuck, but I didn't know that.

    Have fun!

    Welcome! My name is Christina and I have two wonderful kids-my daughter is going into 2nd grade and my son will start kindergarten in the fall. I also baby-sit in my home! I watch two little ones part time (usually about 3 days a week) and in the summer have a full timer. I started in-home day care when my daughter was a baby, and have enjoyed it. I stopped when she started school at home, but it was going so well, that I started day care again! It can be quite the challenge to keep up with everything, but I do enjoy it all-most days!;) Welcome again!
