Adventures of a Homeschooling Mom

I have decided to take my first step into this world of blogging. Almost everyone I know seems to be doing it these days from my friend Karin in London to my dear daughter Denise. I've decided to blog about homeschooling, since this is something I enjoy doing. Why did I decide to homeschool? Well.. the whole adventure of homeschooling (and I call this an adventure in learning because no two days are ever the same when you homeschool) is a lot like a learning journey that has no boundaries! People have often asked if being homeschooled would make one less sociable? Hmmm....looking at my extremely sociable sons, I seriously doubt it. My twin boys, Dalton and Dale are currently homeschooled and they have absolutely no problem making friends. In fact, their friends range in age from 4 year old Isaac (their favourite homeschool mate) to the 85 year old uncle who cleans the void deck in the next block. They strike conversations with the supermarket cashier, the bus drivers, the postal lady and really, almost anyone whom they meet up with. Recently they discovered postal penpals, and now regularly snail mail to friends around the world. So, to skeptics who think that homeschooling breeds antisocial behaviour, I would say, check out my blog and decide for yourself! (Gosh...I've actually written in my blog for far longer than I thought I would be able to!)
