I have to admit, it's been a rough month. So I don't know that I'll have five posts...and they certainly won't be spread out over the month.
Life's just been hard lately but I'm starting to catch my second wind. A couple more good nights sleep with no bad dreams will do wonders for me I think. :)
Anyways, today we went skating with our home school group and folks asked how we were doing after the loss of my dad and of course asked how we've been doing with our schooling. I've been feeling a bit stretched in that regard lately. Somewhat understandable, but still a reality for me. So this post resonated with me. Confessions of a homeschool mom... burnout. I have to admit, I don't think I could manage the "unschooling" approach in schooling, but sometimes it's tempting to think of it. To leave the learning to my son's discretion. I'm too fearful though that he would spend his time just playing minecraft all day long. :)

Since listening to audio books is something that we enjoy in this household, particularly when we are on the road, finding new books to enjoy is something I keep a watch for. We've listened to Morris and his Educated Rodents, The Harry Potter series, Tiffany Aichen books, as well as various others. When I saw this post I thought hmmm... wonder if they will list any that my boy would like as well? I have to admit, that some on the list look intriguing. I already have plans to do the Narnia series.
This post on encouraging a love of reading just made me smile. This is something that my heart so desires for my boy. He LOVES my reading to him and has a solid interest in a variety of books. So encouraging a love of reading is something I am keen to do. :)
And seriously that's all I have this month. I am so pleased that Marcy puts this blogging event together. I haven't been participating as faithfully as I want to, but hopefully over this coming month I'll pick out more posts and we'll do this more frequently again. :)
