Another change in our family this last few weeks is that we put everyone in public school, except Braxton. He is still home trying to get into Driver's Ed before we plunge into public school life.
I hope that it wasn't the carb-induced fog I talked about before that led to this decision. I don't think it was. After much prayer and discussion, we felt that this was the best thing for our family at this time, so that I could get some much needed rest, and the kids could have some new experiences. It is not the ideal, but much in life isn't!
My goal will be to continue using the ingredients for a Leadership education in our home. I find that many of them can be applied to any family situation, even with kids in the public schools.
We still have our bookshelves, we still have our family responsibilities, we still don't have TV and will only have a movie on the weekend. There are more, and I'm sure to write about them in the future, but for now I have to get kids up to get ready for the school bus!

Life as a homeschooling family. Life is good.

About Me
- reallifemom
- I'm a LDS homeschool mom to five wonderful, active people. I love to learn, read, knit, and be outside in the rain or sun. This blog is a sampling of some of my favorite things: the gospel of Jesus Christ, homeschooling, food - especially for those with sensitivities, family, midwifery, and perhaps a little more.
Kevin
Kevin is a Mentored Scholar, works as a paralegal, was the Republican PCO for our area until acting on his conscience he stepped down and is devoting his time to the Constitutional Party, is the BSA Committee Chairman for our boys troop, and full-time college student working on a law degree.
Keegan
Keegan is a Scholar in his second year of college, working toward a degree in either Engineering or Abstract Mathematics.
Braxton
Brax is in Core-Love of Learning with a bend towards photography, music, and a desire to be the English Professor from Dead Poet Society. He naturally sees the good in others, and is an incredibly hard worker.
Jarik
Jarik is a Practice Scholar with an interest in music, especially piano. He spends each available minute practicing and composing, although he professes he has other interests, mainly girls and facebook.
Sarah
Sarah is in Love of Learning where she spends her time reading piles of fantasy books, designing and sewing her own clothing, and working on her Personal Progress goals.
Quentin
Don't be fooled by the cute exterior. Quen is in Love of Learning where he rivals any of us on his knowledge of history. I'm pretty sure his mission is going to rely heavily on strategy, courage, and honor.
