After being frustrated with the public school system and its effects on our family, we began homeschooling in 2004. At the time, we had 3 children and our oldest son had been in public school for 3 years. Our concerns with the school setting he was in were the same ones many people have but just never realize there are other options out there.
We first explored private school, then quickly realized that was most definitely not in our budget. It would also not solve the concerns we faced with our second son who would need to be in preschool soon but dealt with focus and distraction issues.
While reading Dr. James Dobson's book "Bringing Up Boys," we realized that home education was the only solution. What started as a reactive effort to problems quickly became a passionate, joyful way of life!
Of course, the financial side hasn't been easy. Now with five kids and a declining economy, we have had to make great sacrifices to continue our home education journey. My husband works two jobs to make it possible for us to continue and we still don't have a doubt that it's what we should be doing.
My goal with this website is to help families in situations similar to ours be able to give their child a Biblical home education using as many free resources as needed and as possible. Thanks for stopping by. I hope the resources here are a blessing to you and your family!
