Homeschooling When You Should Give Up

We had a plan when we first got married. My husband and I, a perfectly constructed well thought out-this life will be smooth and easy plan. College and career first, then add in some kids near the end of all that. You know, trying to make sure we were "established" before we had little ... VIEW POST

Just the name of my blog gives me away. Hi, There! I am Sarah Bliss, author of Holistic Homeschooler. I am happily married to the man of my dreams and together we raise two adorable children

We obviously homeschool and believe home education is more than academics.

I hold a personal philosophy that homeschooling is holistic and encompasses the whole child-body, mind, heart, spirit.

When I refer to the spirit, I mean the holy spirit. That ones own spirit needs daily nourishment from the word of God.

I homeschool mainly using a Charlotte Mason Philosophy of Education. I absolutely love nature which is why the nature study aspect of Charlotte’s philosophy really speaks to me. We spend hours outside, on nature walks or the occasional hike.

Additionally, I have a burning desire to take our homeschool Journey on the road and share our travel adventures with anyone who will read or listen. Yet, this is a plan in progress so for now we are casually road-schooling.

Finally-I am a Registered Nurse, with the heart to spread educational information on health, wellness, and physical fitness.

I hope to be a source of encouragement and inspiration as we travel along this homeschool journey together.

We are headed to Florida today. My youngest was too young to remember his first flight so for him, it’s a brand new experience all over again. He is mesmerized by the planes, both are so excited. This is suppose to be my husband and I’s 15 year wedding anniversary celebration. Yet, I can’t help but sneak in a nature study or two. We have a interactive dolphin encounter planned and I have Here Comes the Dolphins by Alice Goudey to read with them after. You know you’re a homeschool family when you can’t resist a little school in your travels.

I’m so excited...Do you have any “You know you’re a homeschool family” moments to share?

BTW...Here Comes The Dolphins is out of print and relatively expensive if you can find it BUT you can read it for free on openlibrary.org —-> https://openlibrary.org/search?q=here+comes+the+dolphins+Alice+Goudey&mode=ebooks&m=edit&has_fulltext=true
