Today I’m posting on Many Little Blessings.
I have been a homeschool mom and a away school mom and I can honestly say that I really enjoy learning with my kids. All of my kids have been at home and in school at some point so I thought it might be interesting to give two top ten lists, mine and theirs.
My List
- We make our own schedule. I want to have fun with my kid on their birthday not wait for them to come home or for the weekend before or after. I want summer to start on the first nice day and end when the snow flies.
- My mornings aren’t rushed with making 4 lunches and snacks.
- My evenings aren’t rushed by making sure everyone has a clean uniform and backpacks are ready.
- No one ever has to wear socks again–so I won’t find them throughout the house and laundry will be much easier.
- My kids will be able to learn at their own pace.
- They can play the piano/guitar for hours in a day.
- They can sit and read an entrie book.
- They will have time to write in a gratitude journal.
- I have time to be with each kid without looking at my watch.
- We can slow down to nearly stop–and stop to see the beauty of each moment.
Kids List (unedited)
- Being with my Mom.
- I get to work at my own pace.
- I can get done with school by lunch.
- I get to go on more field trips and stay as long as I like.
- You can focus on one subject the whole day.
- No HOMEWORK!
- Sleeping in (sometimes).
- You can spend all day reading.
- You can eat whatever and whenever you want.
- Summer NEVER ends!
