As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. Psalm 127

What You Wish You Had Known Your First Year of Homeschooling.
Ok here is what I wish I had known:
1. Its ok to do this!
2. My children don't need to be with other children all the time.
3. I can switch curriculum ANY time it isn't working.
4. I can read aloud to the children ALL DAY long if I want too.
5. Its OK to take a day off.
6. I don't have to explain our reasons for homeschooling to total strangers at the park.
7. Our children are going to be learning differently than public schooled kids and that is ok.
8. Ten years goes by faster than you realize.
9. Keeping my children's hearts is a full time job.
10. How passionate I would become about homeschooling.
11. How much fun we would have.
12. How much I like not conforming.
Ok that is a quick list because I know if I sat here longer I could think of a dozen more but I have to put my two little ones to bed!

China
China's Stolen Children
If you know me at all, you should know that I love China, its people and its children. Here is documentary about child trafficking. Its sad and brought to tears. I can feel this mother's pain. This is a problem in MANY countries, not just China.
This is the first of nine and you can see the other parts of the documentary when you watch this first one.
