Well, we are back in action after 8 months of lost communication. I designed a blog for the girls swimteam and lost my rights to this blog due to an oversight but guess who's back! There is soooo much to talk about but I don't want to bore you so instead, I'll be sure to update this blog on a needed basis.
Since the last update, we moved into a much smaller house in preparation of the recession. The girls are now homeschooled thru K12. We are not only excited at the opportunity but we are running to win! I am now a lead tutor for The Black Star program based in Chicago and I count it all joy! I love it! I am able to apply the God given talent the Lord allows me to use at home with the girls outside to home with children that are enrolled in a traditional brick & mortar school. Our school is doing so well and it is such a blessing to see God at work!
Natalie went to Washington, DC in August to the Jr National Youth Leadership Conference. The girls and I went to Washington, DC for this past inauguration and it was exhilarating!
Natia is an official 6th grader in CVCS! This was a momentous occasion for our family. She is looking forward to attending the JrNYLC this year, just as Natalie did last year.
Natrice, our B&M High Schooler is now a Sophomore and currently taking Drivers Ed. I look forward to her and her sisters spending a few of their Sister Nites outside of the house while Nate and I stay indoors.
Speaking of Nate, he is still employed in this tough economic time and that is nothing but the grace of God! How blessed I am to have a husband with a career he loves in a company that appreciates his excellent work ethic.
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I wrote an essay for an up and coming book not yet titled! That is a long story that will be shared later.
How long have we been Educating @ Home where the heart is?

- What's with the Blog?
- Come on in and take a look around. We are first time Homeschoolers serving the God that is The Great I AM. As followers of Christ, we are encouraged to have the best school year possible. We brought two of our three daughters home to educate them. We are not against public education, hence our eldest attends a public High School, while prepping for college. We are simply doing what is best for our family & future in this season of our lives. Many pepole have different feelings regarding homeschooling and all of them are validated, afterall, they are YOUR beliefs. So, with that being said, make yourself comfortable and take a look around. If you need to leave just remember, Y'all come back now, ya hear!
Parents as Teachers...
Remember that you are your child's first, foremost, and favorite teacher. Ask yourself "What kind of teacher am I? Am I teaching the right things? how can I do better?
