If you’ve been reading this blog for any period of time, you would have noticed that it’s been a long time since I’ve written here.  With my business growing, and the boys getting older, I’ve had very little to write about when it comes to homeschooling.  We’re still homeschooling the boys, but it’s more school at home, than home schooling.  They are both going to be using Odyssey Charter High this coming year, and that leaves very little for me to actually do in the school.

This month my family is going on a little trip to The Great Basin National Park for a weekend field trip and star party.  Steve has a nice sized telescope and we’ve been to star parties before, but never at one of the darkest places in the country.  So this should be amazing!  We’re also going to be going to Lehman Caves and to see the Upper Pictograph Cave.  There is really a lot to see and do up there and the National forest website even has some curriculum to go over before the trip.  And the boys thought they were off for the summer!  HA!

I’m a mom of two boys, one is 14 the other is 12.  They both have been going through puberty for a while now.  A long time ago, when my oldest was starting to ask questions, I got him a couple of books that helped both him and I with the whole “TALK”.  My oldest has always been a little more shy about talking about his feelings, and certainly more so about sex.  But the books that I bought helped quite a bit.  My youngest has never been shy about anything though.  His way of talking to me about things like sex has always been by confessional.  No we’re not Catholic, he’s just weird.  One of the things he confessed to me about was some of his sexuality.  That is what has prompted me to write an article for Secular Homeschooling Magazine about Sex Education and the Homeschooler.  If they don’t accept the article, then I’ll post it here.  However, just in case someone is interested in some of the books that I bought for my sons, you can see them below.  I’ll let you all know one way or another if my article is in Secular Homeschooling Magazine and when the issue comes out with it.
