I'm from New Zealand, and I've been lurking on your blog since before Henry was conceived!<br /><br />I just wanted to tell you that you're the BEST mother ever! Lucky, lucky kids! :)<br /><br />(I hope you don't think I'm creepy... although I wouldn't blame you if you did!)Stephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-40495599906276154942009-07-22T22:02:38.961-05:002009-07-22T22:02:38.961-05:00tarapetty: We are so new to this, I don't real...tarapetty: We are so new to this, I don't really have a whole lot of advice. <br /><br />But, what I have discovered is that you need to have a plan for the day. If you don't, it's very possible the whole day will go by and you've done nothing but sit around in your PJs. Not that it's bad to spend a day sitting in your PJs ... you just don't want to do it all the time. <br /><br />So, that's my advice. And it also happens to be the greatest obstacle that I have on any given day. Developing a plan and sticking to the plan, for at least a portion of the day, so that I feel like we've accomplished something. <br /><br />All in all, I think that this has been an awesome experience and I've loved it.The Amazing Tripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761348688069779544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-63731197623596578612009-07-22T20:55:43.810-05:002009-07-22T20:55:43.810-05:00I've been reading for a long time (pre-Henry :...I've been reading for a long time (pre-Henry :) but never commented.....so I thought I would now! We are starting to homeschool kindergarten our 4 year old daughter this fall, and she LOVES the logic puzzle/game "Royal Rescue" that is a wooden block set, and I thought your kiddos would too. There are 48 levels of increasing intensity. I bought it locally, but I'm sure amazon or other places have it too. Can't wait to see what you've been doing for school too!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637939867751048958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-25955887043889368862009-07-22T19:44:46.297-05:002009-07-22T19:44:46.297-05:00So up until now I never thought I would ever home ...So up until now I never thought I would ever home school. Ever. Ever. But since we recently moved and learned that our school choice are poor, I have been contemplating it... still very reluctant.<br /><br />Looking at your blog posts makes me think I could do it, and that everyone would have fun while learning in a great way. <br /><br />So, my question is, what advice would you have? What was your biggest obstacle to home schooling? How did you overcome it? (ok, that is more than one question)<br /><br />btw, I love your blog! It is a beautiful and hilarious story about life.
