In a homeschooling house full of 7 kids & 3 guniea pigs....there is never a dull moment! A lot of people show genuine concern for us and want to know how we are doing, as the road we've left behind was not a pleasant one. So, here I am, to tell some of our stories...share some of our days...and open up a part of our world to you! Come join us on our journey so you won't miss the moments that take our breath away!

    This is an ideal day and we are terrible for sticking to it. We haven't been doing very good with the times of our schedule, but we have been sticking to the routine at least. Trust me...everyday definately does not go this way! I'll be sure to check out all of your blogs, if I'm not already a follower, I will follow you. I love all the different things we all blog about :) Thanks for joining us on our journey!
