We've home educated since our eldest tried school for five weeks (disaster) aged 4. We have quite a loose style which we've settled into after setting out too structured for us. I found my way here reading blogs and have been blown away by the inspiration to be found here. I'm a cathlic convert, four years ago now, but dh is a 'cradle catholic'. I'm loking forward to joining in,

Hi ladies! I'm Clara. I've been married for 8 years and have 4 children - 2 girls and 2 boys. They range in age from 7.5 to 2.5. This is our second year homeschooling. Currently we are doing 1st and 2nd grade and a little bit of preschool/kindergarten with my 4 yr old. I lean towards an unschooling approach with some structure thrown in. We are really enjoying homeschooling. Both my husband and I are cradle Catholics. I'm doing a home study course to be a midwife and hoping to start an apprenticeship soon. This site was recommended to my by my Aunt Chari (who is one of your mods here). "Hi Aunt Chari!" It seems like this is a wonderful forum. I'm looking forward to learning from you wise women!

Elizabeth, I am so curious as to how you set up your day. (I loved your book btw--I read it when my toddler was a newbie). Any advice for a momma who struggles with "schedule"?
God Bless,
Maggie

Hello, Clara!
I only look at this forum about once every three months........and I looked on the day you posted (but did not have time to come back and post) and I saw a "Clara" married for 8 yrs with two boys, two girls........and I thought, hey, that sounds like MY Clara.....except she has not been married 8 yrs.
I read the next two sentences and thought: hey, that sounds like MY Clara, too. 
Then I read the "midwife" comment.......and now all I am thinking is: this IS MY Clara! 
Has it really been EIGHT years already????? Amazing! Happy anniversary!
Angie........I have known Clara since she was 6 mos old........and wanted to have nothing to do with me, for almost two years........always giving me that look, you know which one I mean? 
What is so cool now, is what kindred spirits we turned out to be.....sadly, we live WAY TOO FAR away from each other. Hopefully she will be heading out to a visit to see HER mountain, here, someday......(yeah, Clara, I know......wishful thinking )
In the meantime........you can have a little peek on my avatar
Welcome dear!

Hi my name is Basia. I've been a member here for several months, but haven't introduced myself as I have recently had a baby boy. We are from Sydney, Australia and have been homeschooling for 3 1/2 years. I have one dd Jessica(11)and ds Connor(7 weeks).
I read the book Real Learning just before the birth of my son and have been slowly trying to follow a more Charlotte Mason / Montessori approach. To some extent we did this in the past as well but, this book and forum has inspired me to fully adopt this way of learning.
I love reading and books, cooking, and generally being a stay at home mum. I hope to get to know you all and continue learning from everyone.
