Adding my welcomes to Monica and Brandi!
The great leap off the homeschooling cliff seems so huge...but I can assure you that the ladies here make the landing soft, gentle and fascinating!
I'm so glad you're here...

I'm Sherry, Catholic mom to three (b10, g9, b7). I homeschooled my youngest for one semester in the past but would like to homeschool all three eventually. I feel called to start with my oldest as he's leaving elementary this coming year. And yes, it feels like I would be jumping off of a cliff. :-)

This is a re-introduction. 
I've been off this board - and most other boards and lists for a long time. My name is Nissa. I am blessed to be the mother of 8 wondrous children aged 6 months to 18 years.
We've graduated our eldest from homeschool. She is now pursuing a degree in photography. Over 14 years of home education, I have developed a curriculum of my own, one that incorporates what I consider to be the best of nearly all methods.
We are restoring a large farmhouse on nearly 300 acres in Massachusetts.
Brian and I will celebrate 20 years of marriage in July. He will, God willing, be ordained a permanent deacon in June 2012. Our ministry is to families and young people.
Blessings,

More like a re-introduction. I've been on a long board break and, well, I miss y'all. Can I come back? 
My name is Jennifer, I am 39 and married with 4 children. 3 daughters ages 11, 10 and 8, and a 4yo little boy. My husband is in the Air Force and we moved to Texas last August after 3 years in Colorado.
I'm glad to be here!
Jennifer

Hi all, my name is Sara and I'm the mama to an almost-three-year old boy and a seven-month-old girl. I've been lurking for a bit and finally decided to sign up and ask a few questions. We won't be doing any formal schooling for a few more years, but I was homeschooled myself until high school, and my husband works in education, so we have lots of opinions to sort through in the meantime! I am also trying to spend this time establishing some good habits we can rely on in the future. I really appreciate all the food for thought and the incredible number of resources I've already found here!

I'm Michelle. A Catholic, military wife and mother looking for a homeschool community so far away from the USA(Germany). I have 2 children (daughter: 11 & son: 5), but will just begin Kinder w/ my youngest next year. Have some apprehensions about that being that my oldest is beginning 6th grade. WHO will NEED more of my time??? AND how will I keep the family working together well???
Look forward to "meeting" a new family.

Hi Michelle!
We started our homeschool adventure when we were stationed in Italy (ds grade 5, dd grade K). Two things helped us a lot: monthly field trips with our base's homeschool group, and studying the same basic topics for social studies/history, science, and art. The best part for us was being able to sync with my husband's crazy duty schedule/sea time.
Welcome to 4Real...you'll find so much support here!
