To Homeschool or not too...
that is the current Jackson dilemma. Unfortunately we have moved to a WONDERFUL neighborhood and Love it here BUT also a horrible school district!! We have tossed the idea of home school vs private for sometime now, and are pretty certain we will home school Eli for now. Our goal is to home school until 3rd grade and reevaluate the situation. I know gasp...BUT we are also fortunate enough to be in an area with amazing opportunities for homeschooling, even a sports league..but what about the social aspect you ask...well we will be apart of a group and will be able to participate in classes that are taught by teachers through this organization...I KNOW I can't protect my children from every BAD thing they come across in life but I am going to try and provide the most secure and well rounded environment for my family...and you know I won't know until we try it out!! We are super excited and anxious about this change but I know it is the best for our family at this time!! So any of you home school moms out there an advise would be wonderful!! I think we are going to try the Charlotte Mason curriculum anyone used this? If not what curriculum do you use?!!

Charlotte Mason is supposed to be awesome!!! We are in our 3rd year of homeschooling and love it! It's a good fit for us. Good luck, there's so much support and so many resources out there that you can mix it up and make it work for you however you want!
Scary enough, I was considering it for Kirsten, but Jason said "No Way". I think that for some family situations, it is a great alternative, especially in the first years. I have never been a big believer of home schooling children, but times have definitely changed and our childrens education funding is being taken from them left and right! Especially here in California! UGH!! We are probably going to do private for Kirsten next year, hopefully that will be our good fit!
