Time flies so fast when you don't know which end is up. All is well, and the good news is that I have all kinds of projects I am working on, from homeschooling to theatre.
I am also trying to recover from the car accident I had in early fall. It has created problems that are still just showing up.
Sigh.
But I am present, and sane, and reasonably well.
Until next time.
Oh, I have been writing myself mood picker-upers. Here's one.
I have been trying really hard to be regular about making youtube videos regarding homeschooling. When you are not actively homeschooling it is hard to stay engaged though.
My goal is to help other homeschoolers with their journey, and I have received some good feedback to that end, so I am grateful for that.
With that said, here are some of my latest videos.
School bringing back paddling? I was hoping more than one parent would give their opinion on this school in Georgia that has started paddling children. Parents get to say no, but then the child is subject to suspension.
I wrote another one called The Truth about Homeschooling because I was having frustration in a couple of areas. 1. Youtube is kinda infuriating and I don't know if it will serve my purpose to get out information to help others. 2. The people who are on youtube and are popular and are making homeschool videos are people a bit over positive about it... I wanted to be more real.
If you read my previous post on home meal plans you learned a couple things:
1. I hate to cook.
2. I hate to cut vegetables
You probably didn't know that I also hate to shop for food, which is why I kept ordering these meal plans... And now that I have been trying them for a couple of months... I have a winner because taste is more important than convenience.

So the Home Chef vs Hello Fresh contest went on for a minute, but the cost was a bit much. Since the portions are plentiful, I hacked Hello Fresh by getting the two meal plan for 4 people and adding an extra side dish of potatoes or salad. Easy. We really should talk about hacking these meal plans...
Seriously ya'll. It does no one any good to downplay yourself to make someone else feel good. Especially when you know you are rocking it!
So the next time you find yourself at a party, surrounded by public school die-hards or teachers, just say "Yes, I chose something different and I am really happy about it" or change the subject. You are not obligated to defend homeschooling to the masses.
