A few mo...Thank you so much for sharing your story!<br />A few months ago I miscarried and much to our suprise, we are already 6 weeks 6 days pregnant. At first it was terrifying but now exciting (although in the back of my mind I feel I have to be cautiously optimistic). A week ago I started spotting on and off, My hcg count continues to rise by 700-900 & is in the hcg range for my date (but not "doubling" as they expected). My ultrasound came back showing an abnormal shape gestational sac but too early (I was 5 wks) to see anything else so I'm waiting till next week to do a follow up ultrasound. I'm on progesterone to help my support/strengthen my uterus. <br />...I am confident in the promises God has given me and through it all, I've had what I can only explain as supernatural peace of mind. I know He is perfectly knitting together my baby, a strong heart beat, a corrected gestational sac shape, and measuring right on time. <br />If you have faith to join with me in prayer, I'd love your playful support for a thriving viable pregnancy. <br />Thank you again for sharing your experience and your heart.

We will be homeschooling on a year-by-year basis. In theory I would like to tie back in with our local schools around third grade, however, if standardized testing continues on the trajectory that it is currently on, I would be hard pressed to want my kids to be a part of that system. I think there are amazing teachers out there, but they are too tied to the bureaucracy and money that follows these tests.

Fir...Cheree, I just want to say a couple of things. First of all, I read your blog occasionally when you post them to facebook, and it is so well-written. Your care for your family and the intention you take in making your big decisions is obvious, and it's an honor to have such an awesome cousin-in-law. :)<br /><br />On this one, I just wanted to say that I agree with so many of your points. I know the American education system is struggling right now. I also know that 5 is so young to start sitting in a chair for hours and hours a day. I think holding Jack at home is the right decision, most of all because his parents are the ones who made it.<br /><br />But as he gets older, I urge you to continue to consider the issue, not just for Jack, but for the young ones he would go to school with. Part of the reason the American school system suffers is because of lack of investment. It is wonderful that you made the choice to homeschool, but not all families have the choice. The public school system was created, in theory at least, to be an equalizer, and the more people who take their kids out of school, pay for private, or create an exclusive and expensive school district, the more this mission is lost.<br /><br />I am a big believer in public education, really on idealistic grounds. That may be naive of me, but it's understandable as the daughter of a public school teacher, and someone who has attended public schools, even at the university level. Public schools do so much more than educate, and if the pattern of disinvestment continues, I worry about what will happen when the time comes to put my own children through school.<br /><br />If you do decide to keep your boys at home all the way through high school, I completely understand. I know you and Daniel are smart and thoughtful, and Jack and Isaac will no doubt benefit from your attentions. It works for a lot of people, and maybe having that environment of love and freedom will make them into the sort of people who will change the world. <br /><br />But I think even one family choosing public school freely, with not only the education and welfare of their child in mind (I know this is always going to come first for parents), but also the benefit of society and their community, could change the world as well.<br /><br />I hope you, Daniel, and the boys are all well. I really enjoy checking in on the blog, and I admire your dedication to it.Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083790022826509271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077255253579140757.post-56543939831571196792017-04-26T10:22:37.382-04:002017-04-26T10:22:37.382-04:00I'm so excited for you!!!

I didn't think I was an unschooler, but I'm realizing, just in this last month or so, that I lean more towards unschooling than I thought. And it sounds like you do, too. <br /><br /> It's not about avoiding books, but about learning because we are interested in things. Want to keep chickens? You'll need read about it. And learn how to do some Math along the way. Do you like fixing things? You'll end up checking out a few library books and tinkering with your tools. And the fun just goes on and on!Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949988094416061716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077255253579140757.post-33696553206280767742017-01-14T19:09:51.343-05:002017-01-14T19:09:51.343-05:00I can't agree more!

I got a great majority of my first child second hand items that are neutral gender or that I don't mind (I put some purple clothing on my boy and he looks great in it) so that I can pass it to my other children. It's not only money saving it's time saving as more kids you have less time you have to shop around and I enjoy having already a great majority of the clothing, gear and toys for my next child.

Marcus was working/studying these kind of hours for the first 10 years of our marriage. I felt like a single mom when my boys were little and even during Lydia's first year, and it was such a huge relief when the 10 years came to an end and we moved to Chatt. In some ways, it feels like we really just started learning how to be a family four years ago, and there have been many blessings, but also some tough adjustments. I did not like it when I was doing everything alone, but I was very used to doing everything my way, and it took time to carve out space for the Daddy we hadn't had around. I will pray for a joyful and smooth transition for you and Daniel and the boys!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314642727958697570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077255253579140757.post-72998871327468722712016-09-09T06:06:18.844-04:002016-09-09T06:06:18.844-04:00Baby products varies from market to market.

But parents must examine the products before buying them whether these are safe for the babies body or not. Babies' skins are very soft and delicate. So anything goes wrong means that could affect the babies. However, this is a nice blog post especially the cute baby photos made my day.

It is such a very good idea to save money as well as resources. Why to waste resources if you have something good to use. Every parents should do this. Most of the baby products like toys and other clothe items would not be changed or broken in two or three years. Maximum use of resources is the attribute of a responsible citizen.
