Ok, I have been wanting to paint a mural of a timeline on my wall for awhile now and as soon as I am done typing this I am going to start. I have had a paper one on my wall this past year and it just looks awful. I plan on having a timeline up until they graduate so I want to make it more permanant. Plus we have alot of unsaved friends so I am hoping it will be a good conversation starter to how God shaped our history.

My plan is to make it a serpentine shape from the top of the wall down. That way it will only take up one wall space and not circle the room. I am going to make it look like a road that changes with time. At the top it will be very rough rocks and dirt, during the flood era I think I will make it water, then make it look like a cobbled Roman road which will then morph into a modern blacktop road.

Ok here goes................

What a cool idea. Don't forget to post pics when you are done tonight...LOL But I do want to see it..

I homeschool two kids a 12 year old and an 8 year old with a new concept in Orlando.

We have a great system in our town called the International Community School, where 450 kids attend 3 days of classes a week taught by awesome Christian teachers and their parents parent partner with the teachers....then we homeschool them 2 days a week. It is an easier way to make sure we are staying on track each week and the kids have 11-15 awesome kids in their class. I get work with them in a classroom setting and the teachers are incredible.

The best of both worlds.

I am homeschooling my son for the first time this year. We just got our books in the mail a few weeks ago. We are both excited to start, but I am a little nervous too. We are doing 3rd grade

I'm a new homeschool parent. I pulled my daughter from public school in March and let my son complete the school year. We are taking the summer off, but I plan to start toward the end of August.

I've already got everything for the school year. I just have to write my plan for the school. My kids are 6th and 8th grades. I have been so blessed with a wonderful home school group and lots of support and help. I never thought I would be able to do this, but am so glad that we made this choice for our kids.

I work full-time, but my husband is a stay at home Dad. I still get to do all the work for the school, but he is here for the kids during the day. It works out great for my children.
