I stopped blogging for a few reasons...some that I won’t discuss. I can say that life also got busy. Homeschooling five kiddos takes a lot of time...but teaching is what I love to do, so I am not complaining. This is the stage of life we are in. As the kids get older it seems our stages shift.
Teaching a high schooler is a bit more challenging as now things really count, so I really stay on top of her more so than I used to.
I am back to teaching a preschooler as well! Most days he could care less...but when he does want to learn we have fun! We have only made it to the letter M in the past two years...so that is progress right?!
Our 5th and 7th grader rarely need me schoolwise. I just give them their daily assignments and they go to town. Our 3rd grader is getting there with some subjects. He gets distracted easily, so I set the timer for 45 minutes. He works and then gets a break to play. If I don’t, his schoolwork drags out all day!
I stay busy obviously with homeschooling, as I mentioned. I also am heading into year four with my business Create I love making shirts and decals for people. My hubs asked me the other day how much business (moneywise) I have made since I started. My mark-up is not that high as I feel like I am gifting a little bit to each customer...but I have made well over 1000 items...maybe 2000...I don’t keep track. All of my business proceeds go into a vacation fund. I like to take the kids on special trips in pairs...this next one will be just our boys. I have also treated Sean to an Alaskan cruise. I have worked since I was sixteen with many different types of start-ups...I just like doing something that is my own...and is fun at the same time. The minute it stops being fun...I will start a different business!
Well I have gone on...Hopefully I will write again soon!
Thanks for reading!
