Preperations/ finding things that the kids will enjoy!! and YOU!!??

So I have been thinking a reading a lot of homeschooling blogs for several months and something that I have noticed is that most homeschooling families follow a ciriculum that works for them.. And from my research I have found several circulums that I think are fabulous and they make perfect sense to me. However, most of the programs have preschool ideas or a little bit here and there and the ones that do offer it or are just a preschool program I am NOT willing to pay that for these programs when preschool is supposed to be fun and learning of your basic principals. So through my research I have found great blogs and wonderful Ideas some that we are already doing just because they are fun and my kids already enjoy them and they don't have to be a sit down and learn with mom type of thing..

Here is some of the things we have already started

this fun little card index is basically free and right now we are just doing the alphabet but I have made all the cards and when the time comes to do blends and make words we have these. I got this off of PINTREST and the blog site for this is http://pinkandgreenmama.blogspot.com/ who got them from this original blog http://thesnailstrail.blogspot.com/ and they both blogs have a ton of other fun things to do..

Here is another fun thing we have started

This is a very inexpensive little project. All it is is popsical sticks and velcro. My children and I make fun shapes and letters and really the possibilities with these are endless. Love this idea. Original blog http://tottreasuresnorthbay.blogspot.com/ she also has alot of fun little Ideas

I want to incorperate so much into my kids preschool experiences, and am really excited to get started.

My next post will be on different websites I like for printables and such.

Lets do Homeschooling?!

So I have always wanted a large family, with the home full of love and happiness. I love being a mother, but I did not know that I would LOVE being a mother so much that I would consider NOT sending them to PUBLIC SCHOOL. I have had the thought of homeschooling since I was pregnant with my first child.. Due to some post pardom issues I had after my second I started second guessing my self on homeschooling, and just being a mother in general, post pardom is a really thing and it can do crazy things to your mind. So my oldest turned 3 last Febuary and preschool topic came about, I knew at that time with still coming off of post pardom that I could NOT do homeschooling, I was scared because I didn't know if I could do it. So off we sent Jenntry to go to preschool with some of her little friends.. I absoultly LOVE the preschool that Jenntry attends and oviously she would go another year.. Well due to some circumstances we are looking into homeschooling once agian, and I am feeling much better as a mother. So I decided to document what I am doing to prepare for homeschooling a preschooler and then when we get going what I will be doing so here we go..
