These first weeks of school have been a huge learning curve for us.

Our relaxed, interest led days are being replaced with more structure and schedule.

I am so thankful, however, that we still have freedom to explore our interests.

Classical Conversations is such an amazing program for homeschoolers. Our first week of Foundations at home has been a joy. We have been doing daily memory work, and then supplementing as we choose in other areas of the curriculum.

Next week will be the beginning of our new school schedule.

The decision to join Classical Conversations has given me a peace I didn't anticipate. I knew we were ready for a change, but just how ready I didn't realize until the past couple of weeks.

A good friend of mine pointed out to me that my writing is "less searching, more settled and comfortable."

I think she knows me very well.
