    Hey there,
    Welcome to the MFP community!

    That must be hard but rewarding, wishing you all the best with your goals!

    Give 110% and you'll get 110% back in return!!

    All the best,
    Adam

    I'm also a homeschooling Mom. I'm on my phone via the app, not sure how to add people just yet. But once I hop on the computer I'll add you.

    I work from a home office which means I am pretty much home 24/7! My closest office I can go to is 3 hours away so it can get pretty lonely! I do home-based workout programs to stay active. I have found having an accountability group helps so much. When I don;t feel like doing it, i know I have to do something as the group is going to ask me what I did! I belong to a group right now of about 140 people. There is a weekly workout posted to help give people ideas as to what they can do for the week to get moving. FR me!

    I've always wondered, and this is a completely honest question, do you ever get worried about your child's social development by homeschooling them? Do you still send them to activities (sports, music, ect) so that they can make friends with other kids their age?

    Yes ma'am, got to fill in all the blanks so that they can be able to function as respectable aldults-- my daughter takes gym, dance, and a sewing class, outside our home with kids her age, my son plays football, basketball, and tennis with his peers-- you would be surprised how many homeschool supported recreational activities available

    You can add me! I homeschool a first grader and will add my daughter to the mix this fall. And we want a farm too! Saving money right now and looking for the right place. Good luck with the whole shebang!

    I'm a mom of seven kids. I have a sophomore, a freshman, a seventh grader -- all in away school (homeschooled K-6). I am still homeschooling my 4th and 2nd graders. And finally I have two preschoolers!

    I've lost 40 lbs in 2014, down from 260 to 220. I hit a plateau in October, but haven't had any holiday weight gain. So ready to start again for 2015!

    Yaaay hope it works out for both of us!!! A farm should help us eat healthy abd keep us busy enough to lose weight!!! Lol
