It takes a village to homeschool. So how excited was I to find the Homeschool Village Blog Fair?
The first order of business was to share my 3 favorite homeschool blogs. Which is very tough to do because it changes almost weekly. So I've randomly chosen:
At Home Science
Mama Jenn
The second requirement was to talk about how we will spend the month of June. For our family, the summer months are about planning, finishing work we didn't complete (we homeschool year round actually), trying out various summer camps and extra curricular activities (without the pressure of long term commitments), immersing ourselves in large projects and science experiments and traveling together as a family on learning vacations.
At the end of this month I'm going to actually send my family away for 3-days so that I can stay home and plan for our upcoming school year. Usually my wonderful husband sends me off to a nice beach resort by myself, but this year I thought I'd actually get more done (and feel less guilty) if my family enjoyed the beach resort and I stayed home for some uninterrupted homeschool planning and organizing.

I'm glad you found the HS Village. We are so excited about it!
I think I may have to ask my husband about 3 days for planning and organizing. It sounds wonderful! We actually start back next week --- lightly.
I found you through Mingle Monday. Thanks for all of the great Home School resources!
Blessings

Stopping by from Robyn's Mingle Monday. I looked around your site and think I've found another homeschool site to add to my daily blog stops. You have an easy style and I like all the information and pictures.
Thank you!

Hi! I guess you can say I am stopping by from both HS Village and Monday Mingle! I am now following you and look forward to getting lost in time on your site. I hope that you have a blessed week!
I love the idea of sending the family on vacation! If only summer wasn't my husband's busy work season...
I just LOVE your blog! Love it! You're such an encouragement and I"m so glad you've joined HS Village.

I love the idea of getting the house all to yourself for 3 days! I think that I may just have to plan a little trip for my Hubby sometime soon. :)
Blessings to you,

Awesome idea to send the family off while you stay home and plan for the new school year. :)
What a great idea to send your family away while you plan, and what a sweet husband to have sent you to a beach resort in the past! It's nice to meet you through the Homeschool Village! ♥ Michelle
