A Day in the Life of a Homeschooler!

Hey Guys! It's ~O~ today! I wanted to share with you what it is like being a homeschooler! Many people think homeschoolers are socially awkward, over protected and missing out on important things in life. It's actually the complete opposite!

This is my 8th year doing homeschool, I enjoy every minute of it! Because I have extra time during the day, I am able to take harp, piano and violin lessons which I am VERY thankful for! Now please don't hear me wrong, I respect Public and Private schools very much! As a matte of fact, I have many, many close friends who choose not to do homeschool....but I love and respect each of the dearly!

My family does a homeschool program called "Classical Conversations." It is very beneficial! Foundations (Pre-K- 6 grade) does 12 weeks in the fall and 12 weeks in the spring. Challenge (7-12 grade) does 15 weeks during the fall and 15 weeks during the spring. Foundations covers Math, Latin, Science, History, Geography and Timeline. They also offer a writing class (4-6 grade) that is very helpful!  I am so thankful that we are a part of Classical Conversations! I have made so many tight friendships and learned so many things and for that I am so grateful!

During a normal homeschooling day, I will get up, start school by 9, cover all my new grammar from CC, do my math workbook, practice music and do writing assignments from Essentials.  I normally finish around 1:30/2:00!

Hope you all learned something about homeschool! ~O~

My Favorite Vacation Spots

Hey! It's ~O~! I wanted to share with ya'll 3 of my favorite vacation spots!

1. Disney Cruise~ Disney Cruise's are AMAZING! It's relaxing, fun, entertaining, family friendly, the food is delicious and well prepared, the shows are appropriate for all ages and you make stops along the way....such as the Bahamas', Disney's private island, Castaway Kay and many more places! Disney has 4 ships: Disney Wonder, Disney Magic, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy! They are in the process of building 2 more ships as well!
