Homeschool, the way for us.

Last week I made the life changing decision to homeschool. 

My husband and I had talked about homeschooling if we went back to California but why wait?

Never before had I considered the possibility of homeschooling. And honestly I don't know how it came about. I realized that every time I ask my daughter what she did in school that day her answer has always been " I don't know." For me that is very frustrating. I would like to know what she learned. I love that with homeschooling she will get that one on one education. I can focus on her and help her where ever she needs help. We won't be bound to a classroom and we can take plenty of field trips to better understand a lesson. 

It will be very different I know,but I think that in the end it will all be worth it. I would guess I only get 11 more years with her before she is off to college and living her life, why not spend as much of that time with her. Teaching her and making sure she learns good values, and learns how to be respectful. 

We live in a society where girls are made to believe they have to be a size zero or they are considered fat, and if you don't wear a certain brand then you get excluded. A society where girls no longer know how to cook. I see young children all the time playing video games and don't stop to appreciate everything they have. 

I know I'm not perfect but I want to help my daughter become a wonderful women. I want to teach her everything a woman should know how to do. It's not only for her but for my son as well. He will learn how to cook and be responsible. I want them to become wonderful people and I want to teach them they can do amazing things.
