It was also really cool to scope out the other homeschooling families in our area. I don’t know what I was expecting, but everyone was just so…so…normal. The kids were happy and smiling and well-adjusted and the parents were patient and encouraging and relaxed. What a joy to see all of those families embracing the homeschooling spirit! I had no idea how many there are out there, but this small sampling was quite a decent sized group.
I also had no idea that there is homeschooling “branding.” A few shirts today cracked me up. Made me feel like we needed to be one of the “cool kids,” too.
I look forward to hopefully doing this again next year. And wow, I just learned about Disney Homeschool Days as well! We’re going to be busy. Do you all know of any other events like this we should check out?
(Note, I realize I’ve been seriously remiss in updating our homeschool blog. Ugh. I should have known I wouldn’t be able to keep up with yet another blog. I have been sharing some things via the Creative Mama blog, but perhaps I can try to do some homeschool updates on here every now and then. Perhaps. No promises 😉
I love the colors in this! Lovely!
I never, never, never would have considered homeschooling until you posted that article a few weeks ago about a mother who was always hurried with her kids. Then decided to try homeschooling and loved the chance to be with them all day, go on field trips, etc.
It really struck a cord with me. I have stayed home with them while they were little. Nurtured them, helped them learn how to explore the world…taught them how to be little people. Why would I send them to school just to miss them being the wonderful little people I taught them to be (and they will feed themselves and go potty).
Anyway…thanks for sharing this…thinking about homeschooling out two boys in the next couple of years 🙂
I am going to admit that I was totally scoping out the last photo you posted for denim jumpers… HA!
What a gorgeous picture, I think Sea World should buy that from you 🙂 I love how your son has his hands on there, it’s so inquisitive and genuine. I’m interested in homeschooling too now that I’ve been hearing so much about it. I just can’t figure out the “logistics” of dealing with a toddler at the same time. But I love how you can customize it exactly to your child’s needs. Thanks for sharing about your day Michelle!
OMG!! So awesome!
I love reading your homeschool blog as much as your photography one! 🙂
Love your images – as always. I would love to hear all about the Disney Homeschool Days you mentioned… Sounds awesome!
