Memories

Hi guys! I am not a mommy yet (praise the Lord I am 18 weeks!!! first baby we lost in 2011) but I just have to say I am so encouraged by this site! I was homeschooled my whole schooling life and my husband and I plan on doing it with ours...I ran for school board in my town as I am pretty involved in politics and I have to say I don't think I will ever send my kids to a public school! MOre power to you if you do, but just not for us, especially after being to school board meetings. We want a more Christ based education for our children and want to give them a firm foundation to send them out into the world and I thank my parents every day they gave that me! Keep up the good work you homeschoolers and I will see you here in a few years!!!

    As someone who was homeschooled, do you have any advice for us?  What did you like about your experience?  What didn't you like?  Curricula you preferred? 

    Congrats on your pregnancy!

    Oh boy where do I start! As far as advice I would say become members of the HSLDA (Homeschool Legal Defense Association). We rarely had problems, but they helped me when I was trying to get into the military and they would not accept me...finally the Army

    Thanks for all of the info!

    We've been using Saxon for Math with DS1 since January and he seems to be liking it, so it's good to hear from someone else that they enjoyed it.

    What state were you homeschooled in, if you don't mind me asking?&

    I second Saxon math! I used this from 4th grade through Advanced Mathematics and Physics. My mom, bless her, is a math idiot so I basically had to teach myself all of it. Saxon was amazing and had great explanations. I was homeschooled in WI, MN, OK, GA,

    Fun to "meet" another homeschooled adult! I was hs from 1-12 grades. What a trip down memory lane, we used all the same books (Saxon, Bob Jones, Abecka). 

    I will chime in and say that home school legal defense is a must. They helped us when
