Hello! I don't feel at all confident that I know what I'm doing here.  Oh well, good hummility right?!
Hmmm, well...I'm a Colorado girl  ; a Catholic home-educating sahm of 7 children (4boys and 3 girls)-from age 11 to 2yrs. I've been married to my devoted and hard working husband for 13 yrs. I'm expecting my 8th baby in mid Sept. and constantly humbled by how good our Lord has been to me and my family. I hope to find fellowship and connection to others on here; hopefully to gain and share tips and knowledge in our shared experience of raising and home-educating our children.
Lenten Blessings to you all,
Kelly

Thank you! Yes, Colorado is beautiful! And how's that for "humility", I misspelled humility!

Kelly,
I am fairly new to the board, also. I have learned so much here. I am originally from Colorado and miss it very much. What part of Colorado are you from? I live in Pittsburgh now and have been gone for a long time. I would move back in a heart beat if my husband could get a job! Congrats on your newest little one.

Welcome Kelly! Where are you in Colorado? We lived in Denver for 2 years and still have a house to sell ... but God provides whatever we need!
Congrats on your 8th ... how cool is that? And again, welcome to the boards.

Hello everyone,
My name is Lisa Sweet and I am from New Hampshire. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Scott, for almost 22 years (wow, time flies!) and we have 5 children here and 2 in heaven. Our oldest, a daughter (19), is a sophomore at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, and currently spending the semester in Austria!! At home we have 3 boys (16, 10, 7) and our youngest daughter (3). We have been homeschooling for 15 years. My curriculum has changed and evolved over the years. In the beginning, I stuck to a classical approach. Oldest daughter is doing very well at FUS, so I guess this approach worked just fine. The sons are a different story. About 3 years ago, I ran across Elizabeth Foss' book, "Real Learning" and it changed the way I homeschool (and even the way I mother in some cases) and it brought peace into our lives. This method of homeschooling has really worked for us and I am so happy to have found it. This forum and the blogs of some of the members and founders have really enriched my spiritual and family life. I am looking forward to learning from and participating in these forums.
God bless,
Lisa Sweet

... How cool! We lived over there at the Kartause for 2 years while dh got a degree and met many of the FUS students; my nephew was there last Spring and LOVED it!
Just jump right in and ask or advice or comment or just share a joke ... we're all pretty friendly (and ALL of us have an opinion of EVERYTHING)!
Blessings,

Welcome Kelly and Lisa! I am Rebecca from Alberta, Canada. I haven't participated here much of late. We moved too much last year, it was all too much for me. I think you will really like it here.
