Today I ordered Emma's curriculum for this upcoming school year!!
It was SO hard to choose! Mostly for two reasons:
1) I was getting so much advice from so many different homeschooling Mom's that I was just all over the place researching this and that. One said that they loved a certain curriculum and the other said she hated it...and so on. I decided to follow my gut (which typically steers me in the right direction).
2) The curriculum that I kept gravitating towards (Sonlight) was BY FAR the most expensive one I came across, which is always pretty typical for me - If I like it, its usually the most expensive one, danggit! But in my defense, its all inclusive and I don't have to spend time doing lesson plans, which I spent the past year doing. With the baby coming, running my business, leading a woman's group and on and on and on.... I just can't stress about creating lesson plans this year.
But something awesome happened this month:
In just two weeks I booked 4 weddings, more than covering the Sonlight curriculum with some to spare. Praise God! Now that I think about it I don't really recall bringing this to Him in prayer recently, but I struggled with it for months. He knows me and He is faithful!
Emma and I are super excited about this upcoming year as we officially embark on homeschooling! Please pray for us during this time! I'm sure it will be interesting, to say the least! :)

Yay for choosing a curriculum and booking the weddings too!! Congrats :)
Praise God for His provision! And, yes, Sonlight costs a pretty penny... but that's because you get a ton of stuff!
I look forward to celebrating Box Day with you [smile].

That is awesome! When I have children one of the things I definitely feel called to is to homeschool them :)
Thats great Alison, I am so glad you picked the curriculum for emma, you will do well with her. She is a smart young lady, you shouldn't have any worries. Good Job.
Sounds like things are moving right along for you all. That's always good!
I have something for you over at my blog.
I was a homeschooling mom for eight years. Best thing I ever did with my life. Enjoy every moment, it goes by just too fast!
