It’s time for another edition of the CMpro blog circle and this month, the circle is forcing to make a confession – we have not started school yet. If I’m being honest, I’m overwhelmed. We’ve chosen to home school our children and the thought of choosing one curriculum out of all the ones out there is tough. Yes, I realize it’s not as life changing as choosing a spouse but there’s still a lot of pressure there and frankly, I’m really confused about what I actually need. However, I do have lots of pencils, both writing and coloring! Now I shall slump off and choose some books for my poor neglected children…

Make sure to head on over to my dear friend Jessica Holden’s blog to see her interpretation of back to school.

Nina - Choosing a curriculum that fits for you and them is hard. Give yourself a week off from thinking about it and start fresh. That’s the beauty of homeschooling!

beibro13 - Love your images! I can totally relate. I have been adding in one thing at a time as I make decisions on curriculum. Give yourself a break, like Nina commented. You’ll get it done

We’re in year… 8? of homeschooling. (Had to do the math.
Don’t feel guilty – we always start in October. We use September to ease back into the school schedule.
