A New Face and a New Journey

This blog is officially switching venues. It will no longer be a homeschool only blog, although it will always be a treasure for homeschooling families as well as teachers, and educators. 

I have taken a new teaching/administration position that has resulted in our family's departure from the world of homeschooling. This is a very bittersweet move for me, as it has forced me to say good bye to an era that I have held and still hold very dear to my heart. I feel there is no going back from here. My children are happy; and that's what matters most to me.

Teaching is my passion, and homeschooling my children was my wholehearted effort to fulfill that. While I feel I have lost a part of myself, I also feel I have gained a thousand times more-because now I have the opportunity to not only teach my own children, but the addition of many others, as well as entering into a field overflowing with fresh ideas and experiences.

I have already crossed many hurdles; both in my heart and mind, as well in the dynamics of this new educational setting. I am aware there are yet many more hurdles to cross. I won't belabor them here; here you will find documentation of what we are doing to pursue the dreams and goals I have set for myself and those working with me. I am grateful there are many individuals who share my passion and ambition. I realize the road won't be easy, but I plan to persevere and push it through.

I've always dreamed of a day school that provides every student it serves with what I worked to provide my own children over the years. An environment of exploration, discovery, and experience.

So as we embark on this new journey, I intend to share our joys and our accomplishments here.
