We have had times (like after the fire) when getting back to school was next to impossible. I tried to focus on the fact that they were learning life lessons. And because our children have been free to remain curious learners, of course they don't stop actually learning in times like this. It is just not through a specific curriculum. Most importantly, our faith infuses everything, at all times, and God is gracious to have a uniquely tailored lesson plan for each of us as we grow in Him!

Then, learning to learn, so that whatever gets missed they know how to pick up later if they need it. After that - they are most likely "ahead" anyway, and especially just starting out, there is a lot of time to try to hit everything. I've struggled with feeling like I need to do everything all at the same time, so I do what Mark and I want to do, what they want to do, and what everybody else thinks they ought to do. That, we can all testify, is no way to live! :)Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528621005453402499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540554423431933524.post-23236905494806166222011-11-03T07:28:39.056-06:002011-11-03T07:28:39.056-06:00For me, the hardest part of homeschooling is knowi...For me, the hardest part of homeschooling is knowing there is no way we can do it all!
