What's that smell?

LOL...The Homeschooled Young Man asked me the other day "Mom, you need to help me figure out how much cologne to put on." My husband replies "Son, don't ask things like that of your Mother, you know how she is. She will plan a unit study, you will have to get on a plane and travel to Zimbabwe to study some exotic herb that is harvested to make cologne." LOL...Me? A Homeschool Mom, do that?

YES!!! I would do that! What about you?

My reply to my husband was, "How do you even know what a unit study is?" He says "I just know."  That totally threw me for a loop, I thought my husband's only understanding of homeschooling was the following...

1. The house is always messy with books & papers

2. We are always taking a field trip

3. The child will graduate with a diploma

4. The house is always messy with books and papers (oh, wait, already said that one...lol...but it's a biggy.

I guess we are rubbing off on him, hahaha. Got to love those husbands that are faithful in many things and know what is going on, even when we think they don't.

Homeschool High School Freedom

Stop on over for some great ideas from Jamie's blog at http://simplehomeschool.net. A wonderfully written article by contributor Cheryl of the 2:1 conference and CherylPitt.com about letting your teens have more freedom. Click here to read the entire article High School Freedom. It was a real eye opener and has helped me to see where I am doing well and what I need to work on.

What are some ways that you have let go of your teens? What are some ways you have pulled back on your teens?

I would love to hear from you.

READY OR NOT, HERE IT COMES!

THE TEEN YEARS ARE ALMOST HERE!

~11 more days until my baby boy turns 13~

 

~I am not exactly sure how this has transpired, but alas it has.~

 

~He is starting Freshman year, lol,
he wants to call it 9th grade.
Think back to your growing up years,
you wanted to be a FRESHMAN!! Right?I mean you had waited all those years
to get to high school and now
you had that COOL title.~

 ~Got to love our homeschooled kids, they don't
need a title, they don't care to keep up with the
Jones' (no offense to my readers or my family
member with the last name of Jones).~

~So what is it in your homeschool?9th grade or Freshman?~

~I plan to post some articles talking about homeschooling teens and high schoolers
 in the coming days.~
 

 

Who is eagerly awaiting the teen years, slightly fearful, a bit unsure, excited, thrilled and a lot of other things...lol. Earnestly praying for my future daughter-in-law, where ever she may be, as well as praying for her parents. I pray that they are raising her in "the fear and admonition of the Lord".
