You know how you know it’s been a while since you’ve done something and you think, “Hmmm. I should really check on this soon.” Well, I had no idea that it’s been TWO FULL YEARS since I updated this blog. I should probably have my Blogger profile revoked.
What have we been doing in the last 24 months? Schooling, of course, but I was also working a lot, which I’m going to be cutting back on because we’re about to have our fourth child any day now. “But”, you say, “isn’t this is a terrible economic time to be having another child?” Yes, it absolutely is and we’ve been kicking ourselves for the timing of this pregnancy for the last nine months. We’ve worked through most of our feelings though and we’re looking forward to having our new little girl. We’ve also taken to eating at home nearly every night, making lots of the kids’ clothes, and reusing nearly everything. All things we should have been doing anyway.
In the meantime, our schooling philosophy has undergone lots of changes: partially because I’m extremely flighty and partially because we’ve learned a lot more about our children and their learning styles. I’ll be going into depth about that in a future post, but for now, we’ve settled into a relaxed Charlotte Mason homeschooling approach.
In the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more of our new life and our new little girl once she arrives. Hope you guys stick around to see what we’re up to!
