Learning in all kinds of ways

Today was a work day for me but there were things on the calendar. We are blessed to live within a short drive of many cultural experiences.

The Brooks Center at Clemson University has a wonderful school performance program and today was on of the best.

I missed it but Chris and the kids went to see The African Children's Choir. Everyone agrees that it was a wonderful performance.

When I got home, I found out that Chris had expanded our cable to include Halogen, Biography, Science, Discovery Health, and more. Yay!

I think I am going to let the kids check out the tv schedule and make a list of all of the great shows coming up. Right now we are watching Artland USA. What a great way to see all the creativity in our country!

Changes

Hello my dear abandoned blog. Of all the blogs that I have (and it is far more than one person should have) this is one that I don't want to neglect. It is not only a record of what we are doing but hopefully an encouragement to others. Even an encouragement to me when I think that we aren't doing enough.

If I have to be honest, I am not sure that we have been doing enough. I had become so lethargic about homeschooling and frustrated with trying to move forward and generally mentally disorganized. However, no other choice has risen above this one to educate our children at home.

And now life as we have known it is changing. After almost twenty-five years of being a stay-at-home mom, after almost as many years being primarily responsible for homeschooling our children, I am now working outside the home. It is just a part-time job at a local bookstore (Buy Indie!) but being out of the home over twenty-five hours a week cannot help but have an impact.

The changes only seem to be positive so far. For the first time, my husband has moved from just a supportive partner to an active contributer. We are working together to continue living as fully as we have been, to ignite that love of learning again and as always and most importantly, loving well.
