My Kids Talk Homeschooling

Blog Cruise Button

It’s that time of the week again!  It’s time for the TOS Blog Cruise, but this time, I’m not writing the post.  My girls are giving their responses to this question: “What is the best thing about homeschooling?”  In the interest of full disclosure, please note that my children have always been home schooled.  To quote Tailorbear “I don’t know anything else.  Home schooling is all I know.”  She struggled with coming up with something that she liked best.  “I just don’t know.  It’s all good, I guess.”

Supergirl’s Response: “I like homeschooling. [mom asks, “why?”]”Because it’s so much fun!” [Mom: “But what do you like best?”] “Reading. I’m learning how to read. We play games with it and I get to use letter tiles.”

Tailorbear’s Response: “The thing I like best about homeschooling is Sonlight because I get a lot of books to read.  Yes, they’re educational but they are a lot of fun to read.”

Turtlegirl’s Response: “Um, I’m not sure. There’s being able to set my own schedule, taking time when I need more time to understand the subject, and when I’m not feeling well I can do school in my pj’s. That’s just a few of the things I like. There’s also being able to have a snack when I need one. “

BooBear’s Response:“I like that I am able to go more in depth on a subjects. If I need more time, or am having trouble I can take the time to make sure I learn it. I am able to spend more time with my family, I see my sisters and get to know them. I really am glad that I am able to get to know my mom.”

Tailorbear also said “Homeschooling just works best for us.  It just works.”

The TOS Blog Cruise goes live each week on Tuesday and you can read what other Crew children like best about homeschooling.  In the meantime you can enjoy reading past Blog Cruise topics at the TOS Homeschool Crew Blog.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to host a give a way.  I thought oh I’ll do a giveaway when I reach 100 followers!  And then suddenly I had over a hundred. Then I thought ‘why don’t I celebrate when I’ve written 100 posts?’  Typical of me, I didn’t pay attention and I went right on writing past 100. So now, I’m thinking I’ve got to do a Give-A-Away this week because of the Ultimate Blog Party .   (You can read my Blog Party Introduction post here .) So I look at my post count this morning and I realize that THIS POST is my 150th Blog Post! So now, I’ll just *have* to give something away.  But what?  What can I give away?  I know.. Coffee!   I’d serve coffee (or tea) if you were sitting here with me in my dinning room chatting so here’s your chance to win a $15 Starbucks Coffee Gift Card To enter leave a comment.   I’ll use a random method (such as random.org) to choose a winner.  Winner will be announced April 9th! Required for first entry:  Tell me what you would purchase with

Happy New Year!  With the New Year, I opted to change the look of my blog.  It's currently a work in progress and Tailorbear is doing some design work for me. It's been about a year since I last posted.  I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with blogging.  Did I want to continue to blog?  What would write?   Then I found inspiration. It's a long story and I'll share it - bit by bit - going forward.  I am still passionate about education.  While BooBear, TurtleGirl, and Tailorbear are now busy being adults,  Supergirl continues with her "homeschooling."  As our special needs, medically fragile, miracle girl, she continues to amaze us, and we continue our commitment to keep homeschooling as long as she is interested and still making progress.   I will continue to blog about homeschooling-related topics. However,  I am most excited about blogging about my health journey. I want to share what I am learning!  I'm inspired to write about my new way of eating a
