Laurie\u00a0 (LibbysMommy) here and today I get to share some thoughts on something that is really pretty big in our lives right now. Can you believe it&#8217;s nearing the end of the school year already? I know I can&#8217;t. It seems like just yesterday that my daughter Libby was entering Kindergarten. I remember the HUGE range of emotions I felt when I registered her for school last summer. How is it that my first born baby could already be ready to be in school all day long?? It was such a big year for her. She made new friends, lost a few teeth, learned to tie her shoes, learned to read, played soccer and started dance class. I can see just how much she has changed and it amazes me. As much as I&#8217;ve loved having her in school, I&#8217;ve also come to really dislike quite a few things about school. In December, over Christmas break, after prayerfully considering our options, I decided that I would start homeschooling her when she started first grade. I searched high and low for the curriculum that we feel is perfect for us right now and I&#8217;ve thought about how things are going to go this next school year. I have to admit, I&#8217;m a bit nervous about how things are going to go, but more than anything I&#8217;m so excited to see what this next chapter of our lives and her education will bring. The fact that she is so excited about it and the fact that we have a fantastic support group that is cheering us on makes it that much more exciting!! I would love to hear your best piece of homeschooling advice!!
