Dear First Time Homeschooler, So you finally made the decision to homeschool? Let me congratulate you and yes, jump for JOY with you in making one of the best decisions you will ever make in raising your children. My children and I salute you ( See the photo???) Do not fret, many are with you. Many have gone ahead of you and many are willing to come alongside you. I have gone ahead of you for maybe several years and yes, because of several children, I am still homeschooling level 6 and 4 children.

We've put together a list of articles new homeschoolers may find useful.

Let me share with you my top 5 reasons for teaching our children at home — maybe you have the same reasons; or maybe these will help you clarify your own reasons, especially if you’re just exploring homeschooling.

I talk a lot about homeschooling, but I want you to know that my children aren’t always cooperative, there are days when I don’t feel like teaching, and sometimes I am the less than perfect mother who gets annoyed with her kids. Two days ago, I was teaching Titus from his Singapore Math book and he couldn’t get subtraction using number bonds. I could tell he was guessing so I elevated my pitch and my tone was agitated.

Most homeschoolers would probably agree with me when I say that homeschooling is less stressful and challenging when you know that you’re not alone. Support is important and, as we all know, “no man is an island,” and I think this applies especially to homeschooling parents (who are mostly moms).
