Will have a go at answering the questions when we get back from yet another camping trip which will be next Tues...but won't be able to provide too many details re kids as I haven't got their consent, and I try to maintain their anonymity on the internet.

Iowa 2) How long have you been homeschooling? Just getting started, old pro or somewhere in between? We have homeschooled going on 3 years. 3) Write a little something about your family. Ages? Stages? Ds12; very creative, wants to be a writer when he grows up. DS9; loves video games, will more than likely design new ones. DD7; 100% girls and all tom boy rolled into 1, wants to be a cowgirl when she grows up. 4) Share some good homeschooling advice you’ve run across. Relax and don'toverwhelm yourself. 5) Tell us something you’re passionate about (besides your family and homeschooling, those are givens!). Writing. I love to write and tell stories about my life. Stories, poem...you name it I love to write it. 6) If you could take the ultimate field trip, where would you go and why? The ultimate field trip? Hmmm...I would love to travel in an RV all around the US with my family. RV Schooling! 7) What is a resource you can’t do without? My extended family (most of them) for their support. As far as books i love CarSchooling and use it frequently. Websites I use Enchantedlearning.com. And the library where most of my great material comes from. (OK so ithat is more than 1) 8) How do you homeschool? Classical, Charlotte Mason, Waldorf, Unschooling, Eclectic? Very eclectic with a hint of unschooling. 9) Share a website or two that you visit often - can be your favorite blogger or a curriculum supplier, just any sites you really like. enchantedlearning.com, abcteach.com, homeschooljournal.net 10) Tell us about one of your favorite projects/activities/trips you’ve had in the past few months. We studied the Olympics. While we studied them the kids learned about an Olympic Stade. We measured out a Stade on our street (it went for 2 1/2 blocks). The kids then took turns running the stade while I timed them. We then had an awards ceremony where I gave them medals and had an awards luncheon in the house. We had a ton of fun that day. 11) What is a current/previous homeschooling challenge you’ve faced? Prooving to MIL that this is a good thing. 12) Share an accomplishment, something about you or your children. Come on, brag about it! My family is my accomplishment. 13) What are you looking forward to over the coming year? I am looking forward to doing more lapbooks this coming year. I would like to see their portfolios actually amount to more than a stack of papers in a box. 14) Name three things you like doing in the summer with your family. Volunteer at the pioneer village. Camp. Eat watermellon, have seed spitting contests and then hose the kids off in the yard while people walk by on their way to the school open house. (One of my fondest memories every year. ;-)) 15) Have a favorite homeschooling quote? Share it here. the head of our homeschooling association shared this with me once and if every parent would follow it I am sure their homeschooling experience would be great. "RELAX".
