    Hi my name is Susan. I'm married to my best friend and we have two children. Brittany is 11 and this is her first year of homeschooling. Timothy is 14 (Asperger's syndrome and OCD) and this is his third year of homescooling. It's because of his disabilities and problems in public school that lead us to homescooling. We are very eclectic homeschoolers, using some text books, reproducible workbooks, the library, the internet, and creating our own curriculums.
    For fun I love to read (anything but horror), cross-stitch, crafts, play board games, going for walks in our mountains, and just spending time with my husband and kids.
    I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

    Welcome, Colorado is a beautiful place. You mention going to the mountains, without naming your location, are you in the northern, southern, western part of Colorado?

    Welcome!

    We are also very eclectic. Also we really enjoy going for walks in our mountains. I am in southern Wyoming. We live in between 3 mountain ranges. I so love it!

    Hi and welcome to the spot! You'll love it here. :)

    We're classically eclectic... or is it eclectically classical? :)

    Nice to meet you!

    I was hoping to see some other westerners on here. We are in western wyoming. Jackson area. I would say that our school style was somewhat eclectic. I kinda make things up as we go along. Using Textbooks, workbooks, library and nature. We have a small family ranch so my kids get in on a lot of nature things.
    I can't wait to get to now some of you better.

    Welcome to Homeschool Spot! We have 2 daughters (ages 7 and almost-5) who are mildly autistic, so we are passing through some of the same territory that you have been through, I'm sure. :)
