About

I would like to introduce you to my family.

Jay is the man I’ve been blessed to be married to for 18 years .
Drew is our eldest son (16 yo)
Tyler, second son (13 yo)
Garrett, third son (6 yo)
and finally, Mikhail (5 yo)

And my name, as most of you all ready know, is Christine. I am your “hostess” of this blog and you see life through my eyes.

Please feel free to come on in, take a load off (watch that pile of books on the chair!) and make yourself at home. If you’d like a drink the kitchen is just over there, the coffee is just brewed (hot and steamy), or feel free to go for the tea or hot chocolate; we have cold drinks as well. Most of all, feel free to get it yourself, because I have a nasty tendency to forget to offer.

Please feel free to leave comments! We’d love to hear from you.

I just started home schooling my youngest son (6yrs old). You must have your hands full!! If you ever have any suggestions for a new home school mom, please feel free to put them on my blog.
I saw your pictures of the Renaissance Festival and it looks like one in Arizona. Are you near there?

Hi -
I have been reading your log for a few weeks and have finally caught up. I am enjoying it greatly and am learning tons from it. I was hoping to make a request for when you have time that I know will help me out even more. This is our second year homeschooling, I have a 9 yo and a 4 yo. I am having trouble with the 9 yo’s lack of drive (everything goes in slow motion and I find I have to keep her on task) - I was hoping you could share an example of the schedule that works for your children as it sounds absolutely wonderful. Also, I read you use R&S grammar, we started R&S English last year and loved it but it is a full textbook, is the grammar version something different or is it the same as the English textbook?
Thank you in advance for anything you can post (or email)

Thanks Christine,
Your schedules are great. I am also a wife of a military personnel. However, he retired before any of the boys were old enough for school. However, I did wonder how military schools would have been. I would have found a way to home school. You are a wonder with schedules. Thanks. stehanie
P.S. I have four boys.

Thank you so much for sharing in all your hard work with the schedules. I simply couldn’t live without them. I am hoping(begging) for Zoology 2 schedule I will be teaching it at our homeschool enrichment center over the course of 14 weeks and I can not figure it out. I have posted for help on the Apologia loop, but as of yet, not much help.
Do you plan on posting a schedule this summer?

Blessings in Christ,

Hi, Christine!
Just returning the “visit” to see what life was like with YOUR 4 boys!!! Something about an “all-boy” family that only “all-boy” mamas can understand!
(One of our sons share a name! My Garrett is 12 years old!)
Blessings,
