I had a conversation today with some college friends, the Demmes, from https://demmelearning.com/ . Since having children and falling wholly off the blogging bandwagon, I somewhat reticently mentioned that I was thinking about blogging our very soon upcoming homeschooling adventures, but was afraid of falling flat on my face for all the world to see.
Cassie-Marie replied "maybe that's what someone needs to read."
She was so right.
I know my limitations too well as a parent, and I know that teaching my children will require skills, talents, and virtues that I do not currently possess. I'm not incredibly patient. I yell sometimes. I'm selfish sometimes. I'm not as disciplined as I'd like to be, nor up-to-date on curriculum design nor learning philosophies. I'm not flowing with cash to pay for really nice textbooks or online courses.
But I do love learning. I love sharing the things I'm learning with those around me. I love creating fun and stimulating environments. I also have the benefit of being thrown flat on my face in front of the world, where I have to receive with humility from God those things I lack.
So I'm dusting off the old MMDA and sharing with my readers. Watch me fall on my face now, before I even get started.
And, with any luck, I'll stay here.
