Sometimes they are just too much of a “public school”.   One of the reasons I liked the idea of using Odyssey Charter High School for Roger’s high school because of the interaction with other kids… as well as some interaction with teachers.  I also really didn’t feel like I had the time, being that I’m working on growing a small business in todays economy, to do my own curriculum.  I needed something that was ready made!  Well.. the down side to having something “ready made” and using a public charter school, is that it’s still a public school and all that that implies.

A while ago, I talked about wanting to write an article for the Secular Homeschooling Magazine about dealing with “The Talk” as homeschoolers.  I was able to get that done, plus a short article with answers from several experts in the fields of child psychology, pediatrics, and education on several tough questions.  The issue that these articles will be in will be out soon!  You can order your subscription on their site.  Along with my two articles, there will be others tackling tough issues such as sex, death, controversial types of homeschooling and a lot more.

Three words I thought I’d never see together and three words I never thought would describe me… at least not all at the same time. And yet, 11 years ago that’s where I found myself. My youngest wasn’t two yet and my oldest was barely 4. So maybe in the beginning there wasn’t a lot of actual homeschooling being done, but it certainly was my intention.

I do love peanut butter.  It’s been one of my favortie foods since I was a kid.  Luckily, Peanut Butter was one of the few things that I was NOT allergic to as a child… well after I was 3 or 4 at least.  So I ate a lot of peanut butter in my life.   That being so, the Peanut Butter Blog is one of my favorites.  She finds interesting uses for peanut butter, finds cute clothing and accessories that have something peanut buttery about it.  So when she asked for volunteer Guest Posters, I jumped at the chance.  So Please, visit her great Peanut Buttery Blog and see my post later tonight.
