My hopes for home schooling..

I've known for a while now that I want to home school all my kids. No matter how hard, how expensive, whatever, I want to home school my kids. Why? Because for some reason I feel like its what will be best for my children. Not only will I be in charge of what they learn, such as math etc., but I will also be able to teach them about God. Where as in schools, they aren't allowed to ask about Him, learn about Him, etc. So this way I can help them in all the areas that are important :)

I'm really excited to start home schooling. Taylor will be in Preschool in August of 2013. I know, thats a while from now. But I'm starting to save now for the school its self, and then also for all the accessories for it. (PLEASE if you know where I can get ANYTHING to help with home schooling like magnetic boards, things like that that are fun for the kids to learn from email me or comment on here of find me on face book, Maribeth Drinkard, and let me know about it!!! I have a huge wish list on amazon.com going right now lol).

Anyways. I am going to order a big childrens bible off amazon soon, and I can't wait to get it! I am going to pick out a story, (probably in order thats in the book) and every week we will do one story. I'm stealing this from another mom who home schools and has a blog(mywalkwitheden.com) Anyways, I'm kinda excited to see how Taylor does with it. She's 3... And change isn't good for her, she hates anything that changes really. So I'm hoping to gradually get her involved with reading the story with me, maybe doing a coloring page to go with it, things like that. And I'm going to do this at the same time(or about the same time) every day. Make our day more routine, more of a schedule. Maybe this will help with their sleeping problems too. They don't sleep good at all right now, maybe have more structure and more activities going on it will help some how lol

Anyways. If you have any tips, advice or ideas on home schooling let me know! :)
