It comes so naturally to me. It's a lot of work, sure, but it feels much more "normal" than sending my kids to school. I'd love to hear sometime about some of the things you wondered about and struggled with in your early years as a Settler.

What a blessing to have a friend like that!! She is so pretty and sounds just as beautiful on the inside. Kathy of Summer Setting was a mentor to me also, but I had others along the way. We started when I was in Panama, and I did not have state-side contact much, so I had to rely on the American military wives for help getting started. One gal, Louise, had a ton of resources. I read every book she had on the subject of homeschooling. Essentially, I plowed my way through by reading stuff. The funny thing about homeschooling is that it is just an extension of who you are and your walk with the Lord. Now that you and I have had such great mentors, what are we doing to help the new ones coming along? Hhmmm.... Wow! What a blessing to have a friend like that!!
