I am excited to be participating in the 2018 Virtual Homeschool Fair hosted by Susan form Homeschooling Hearts & Minds. This week is all about the "why" for homeschooling so let me share with you my why by taking a look back at the last 9 years.
Way back in June 2009 I wrote our declaration on this blog that we were going to start homeschooling when we moved to our current destination. It was a huge jump for us because we were moving across country and setting up in a new city, Mike was deployed, and I was 7 months pregnant with Miss McKenzie. Little did we know that she would be making her early debut just 5 short weeks later.

Every day I strive to enrich my children's lives and keep God at the center. Homeschooling might seem difficult at times, but so are a lot of things in life, but in the end it will be a lifetime reward. I am positive that the girls will excel with this new one-on-one learning, why else would the Lord lead us to it? It all comes down to having faith.
Homeschooling has afforded our family many opportunities. Opportunities to grow and learn as a family. We didn't start out from the beginning being homeschoolers but I am so glad that God led us on this journey. This year marks our 9th year homeschooling and next year we will have our second high school graduate, Madison, and our first college graduate, Marie! While it hasn't always been rainbows and butterflies we are making it work for our families needs and goals. Enjoy your journey and time with your child, as it passes so quickly.
Now, let's see what my fellow homeschool bloggers have to say about The Reasons We Homeschool.
