College...Already!

My daughter has finally made her decision regarding college and further education. For a long time she had no idea what she was interested in doing with her future. So I bought her a Career Development program, that seemed to help her narrow down her interests.

The next big debate was over attending college on a campus or at home online. She was not interested in leaving home and living in a dorm with strangers. Her dad and I were not to excited about her being on the road everyday traveling to and from school. So the alternative seemed to be online education. The trouble was finding a school that offered what she wanted.

Ashford University has a fully accredited Liberal Arts program and also Computer Graphic Design. Those are Megan's areas of interest.

Senior year is moving right along. I'm not sure if she will finish within the traditional time frame. But I've always thought learning the material well was more important than finishing the books on time. So fall of 2012 or Spring of 2013 my oldest will be entering college. Wow!

New School Year!

Summer is gone, fall is here, and we are into another school year!

Second year of no lesson plans. It worked so well last year, it is worth trying again. Our focus this year is on math, grammar, and one core subject. We do as much each day in the core subject as possible and then we will move onto the next core subject when it's complete.

Kids are focusing on their music lessons and working on a photo collage project I assigned them at the beginning of the school year.

We had a nice relaxing summer and everybody did a lot of reading. So we are reenergized for the school year and moving right along.

My mantra for each day: Do what we can and leave the rest for tomorrow!
