For a couple of years now, i have explored the Charlotte Mason method, which is great, but have recently come to terms with the fact that I will NEVER be completely sold out to one way of homeschooling. I'm relieved to hear "real talk" of an experienced homeschooler that it's ok to be eclectic & it's wonderful to have the freedom to select that which works best each season & for each child accordingly.<br />Moving from NC has left a couple of holes in our hearts, not the least of which is the awesome leadership of the Lighthouse homeschool support group. I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to keep up with some of you whom I considered mentors & friends through the blogosphere, as well as other social networking tools.<br />One grateful Mama,<br />JulieSojourning Sadlershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09112470802146392030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410103526176646924.post-61572115663239359222012-02-21T16:38:19.017-05:002012-02-21T16:38:19.017-05:00Love your post Beth!

I am leaning one way...but the other ways have so much to offer too! All the choices!

I am so relieved I am not the only one who lets my 13 yr. old sleep in because she functions better if I do. There are day when we must get up early due to schedules. James Dobson recommended this on his radio show years ago and it has worked for us and guess what my older children have never been late for work (on purpose) and could manage to get to classes on time they actually learned how to set their own alarm clocks when needed! So happy I also think of myself as eclectic. Anyway I am pumped to know someone I respect and admire because of your vulnerability and transparency does some of the things I do.
