Let the 2012 homeschooling games begin.
Joining The Funk and The Mash for iPPP.
In addition to teaching my kids, I’m also giving out design tips for a user friendly blog in my post over at Business 2 Blogger this week. I’m such a great teacher. I know.

Happy back to school! So did you spend the day going over rules and expectations? LOL Gotta love the first days of school. Hope it’s going well.
PS. LOVE the liquor cabinet. I think that would be super helpful for me.
Erin recently posted..I’m Still Here
Ha! We have spent the last few weeks going over the rules.
The liquor cabinet is helpful for many, many things.

More organized than I have ever been. I wish I had discovered one of those books when my girls were just starting out.

Not sure what book you are referring to but so far the most helpful book to me has been The Well Trained Mind.

That’s the one.
Maggie S. recently posted..Ready? Oh-KAY!!!

How much of that cabinet is still there now that the first day is over?
New school supplies always made me giddy. I’m weird, I know.
Kimberly recently posted..Two Years
Surprisingly there is only a few shots missing from the cabinet.
I love buying new school supplies but I never wanted to actually use them because then they would lose that new feel. I know, I’m weird too.
You’re ready! The well-stocked liquor cabinet is a must!

They look ready – and cute! I’m so impressed by homeschoolers – it’s much easier for me to send mine on to school

I do need to take some back to school pics of the kids.
I am so anxious to read your accounts of how this goes. A part of me really wants to homeschool our kids, but hubs is SO not on board with it.

Maybe over time he will change his mind about homeschooling.

You know I will take you up on that offer.
Ha ha, I read your comment about the field trip to the park and pool. That’s my kind of homeshcooling!
marie recently posted..It’s always a good time
Our first homeschooling lesson was at the park. It was awesome.
How much do I LOVE that you fearlessly included a picture of your liquor cabinet along with your home schooling preparations???
A lot.
Wishing you so much luck on your new venture and I can’t wait to read about how it all goes…You’re a brave lady.
And also well-stocked. In all the ways that matter
julie gardner recently posted..Today call me back
The liquor cabinet is a very important part of the homeschooling preparations.
There’s nothing better than new books and a well stocked liquor cabinet, : ) Have a great school year.
