Happy New Year!

2-0-1-4

In case you haven't visited my blog before, I have changed the look and feel of it. I am also changing my narrowly focused topic of t homeschooling so I can incorporate other passions of mine. Often I don't feel like writing just about homeschooling. So I haven't been. (I mean, we are on Christmas vacation, we aren't actively homeschooling right now.) While it's a BIG part of my life, it's only a part and I need an outlet for all those other topics that float around in my head. With that being said, I do hope to write about things that are important to me but that one day my son can read this and see what was happening in my head on a particular day, what was happening in the world, my thoughts and feelings about family life, politics, faith, work and anything else that makes up the whole person that is me. He will see himself here. He is a big part of me too. More than he knows.

With all that being said, beginning our adventure in homeschooling was the whole reason I created this blog. Teaching James has allowed my own curiosity to grow and I have become a voracious seeker of information that is the news, American history, parenting, clean living, clean eating etc. I was inspired by The Pioneer Woman. She wrote a post called "Ten Important Things I've Learned about Blogging". It inspired me. Change is good. It's necessary. I don't know if I would call this a New Year Resolution but it's definitely feels good!
