PUBLIC SCHOOL OR HOME SCHOOL?? That is the question of the week!!
I have 2 granddaughters that I pulled from the public school system last year, They were headed into 4th and 6th grade. I am going to be bold faced honest here, I was scared to death to home-school them!! Yet, I was just as scared to leave them in the public school system. So I did a TON of research and decided to pull them. I wasn’t confident enough to feel as though I could do a good job with them by doing what is referred to as “traditional home-school”, so I enrolled them in a program that is Nationwide, called K12. They still followed all the educational teaching as if they were in public school, but they were taught at home, via a computer. The wonderful thing about K12, is that they will supply basically everything you need. They send a computer, printer, books, rulers, microscope, art supplies, music supplies, etc for FREE!!

We have owned our home for about 11 years now and I love it for so many reasons. I will say that it isn’t the newest house and it certainly has a lot of repairs we need to do. I will admit when I go to a friends house and they have a newly updated kitchen or new furniture in the living room, I get a little envious. We have lived in this home for 18 years and it was not new when we bought it. I believe it was built in the 70’s. We also have 2 apartments at the back of our property that assists us in paying our mortgage each month. The key is that it is our HOME and not just a house.
