Colluding with the Russians, well, not exactly......

It is so much fun helping out new homeschoolers.  Our neighbors, who have only been in the US for a few years are about to start their first year of homeschooling with their 5-year-old daughter, who only speaks Russian, by the way.

She is such a sweet kid.  Most of the time, she has no idea what we are talking about but she LOVES being around the girls no matter what language they are speaking or what they are saying.  She laughs nonstop.

It has been my pleasure helping her mom get a plan in place so they can experience school in a positive and fun manner.  It is hard to believe this is my last year of being a homeschooling mom but I have loved every minute of it.  I think that children thrive and do better when at least one parent, especially their mother, takes a real interest and genuine care for their children.  They are only kids once and for such a short amount of time so being their for the kids takes priority over everything else in my opinion.  It just makes sense.  I cannot understand how anyone could think otherwise.

I love being a veteran homeschooling mom and mentoring the newbies.  Looking forward to helping out my fellow homeschoolers and graduating my last homeschooling brainiac and so very proud of my straight A student for her first full year of college.  Life is great!
