    I just started homeschooling my 5 yr old and my 4 yr old sit in too, while 20 mo old naps. :-) I chose My Father's World Kindergarten. It's only about an hour a day. Today is zoo day though, yes here in Texas we have a high of 75! Tuesday's are Library days because they have story time. My plan is to home school just three days a week since they are younger. We will take it slow....

    We are in our 20th year of homeschooling! :happy: This will be my last since my 16 yo will be full-time as a dual enrolled student (college courses for high school) starting in the fall at Baptist Bible College in Clarks Summit, PA. (His courses will be all online, $120/credit hr, and he'll get a full scholarship of these dual enrolled courses upon graduation from BBC with a 4 yr degree.)

    We have used a wide variety of curriculum over the years with all 3 kids. The 2 older ones are just finishing college and have done very well! My favorites:
    Teaching Textbook for math - we used Saxon for years and switched a 5 years ago to TT. LOVE IT!!!!
    Mystery of History for World History - excellent and makes history interesting
    Ray Notgrass publications for history, government and economics. Very thorough and interesting!
    Apologia Science was okay for my more academic kids. The library was what I used most when they were elementary age.
    Easy Grammar and Daily Grams - wonderful, easy grammar!
    Editor in Chief - practical use of grammar, spelling
    Andrew Pudewa's writing courses - we used one year's worth and it gave a great base for writing

    Feel free to message me if you have any questions! We LOVE homeschooling and it's flexibility!

    I homeschool my 10 year old daughter; my 13 year old son goes to private school.

    I'm new to MFP. Have been here about a week using the calorie tracking area. Will start logging my exercise today.

    This is our third year of homeschooling. Last year was exhausting; she likes to argue with me about everything and we wasted too much time debating why she should do math and reading. So this year she goes to a homeschool co-op one day a week for math and reading. Then we work on the assignments for the other four days. What a blessing! Now, when she says "I don't want to do school" I can say "That's fine. Don't do it. You can tell your math/reading teacher why it isn't done on Monday!' <grin> Amazing how sometimes outside authority gets their attention, especially when you are with them 24/7!!

    I would love to become buddies with other SAHM Homeschoolers! We can support each other on our weight loss and our homeschooling challenges. Please feel free to send me a buddy request. (I'm still figuring out how to do that!):wink:

    Hi! I homeschool my kids as well, have 100+ lbs to lose. I get so busy with the kids and life that I need someone to be accountable to that understands how our days can be. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of this weight. It is such a huge, dark cloud hanging over me each and every day. Would love to work with you on this project. 2013 is our year!!

    I homeschool my 3 kids! 5th grader, 1st grader and preschooler. I am 34 and need to lose about 53 more lbs. I am always taking care of everyone else so I decided this year it's ME first! I joined a gym and bought a fitbit and I am on here. Lost 11 lbs over the last 3 weeks!!

    I would live to add some friends for motivation. I got to the gym 6 days a week just to get out of the house!! I am totally committed to doing this!!
