I've just recently joined your forum and have enjoyed reading through the posts.
Here's a little about me and my family...
I've been homeschooling my 6 kids for 10 years. My kids range from 17-8 and are in grades 12th, 10th, 8th, 6th & 3rd. We are very eclectic in our learning approach with a strong leaning towards Charlotte Mason. We spend much of our time notebooking our lessons. I love creating notebooking pages for my kids to use. I do have a website where you can download lots of freebies. I'll post that later if it's okay!
We live in Arizona, my husband is a chiropractor and was homeschooled himself for 4 years. We live in a straw bale house, raise several different types of animals and are a very strong Christian family.
I'm really excited to be here. I love sharing ideas and resources with other homeschoolers. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Take care,
Betsy

Hi, Betsy, and welcome! I took the liberty to move your post from Narration to Fireside Chat where it will receive lots of "welcome aboard" attention. Thanks for your introduction.
Where in AZ do you live? We have lived outside of Phoenix for over 3 years now and love it! I LOVE straw bale homes...how awesome! Did you build it yourself? My friend has a rammed earth home in NV...beautiful!
Welcome again, and hope your time spent here is a blessing to you and your family.
Love,

Welcome Betsy, I too want to hear about your house. I have read about them, but it would be fun to see one, and hear about your life living in one.
