Homeschooling has been a part of our family life since 2003 when my husband and I pulled both of our children out of public school. As we continue on this path, I have found that there is tons of information about homeschooling elementary school students, but far less information for the older homeschool student. Here we can share our experiences, ideas, successes, and failures and hopefully hear about yours as well.

Today in History
As homeschoolers, we are always looking for ways to ignite curiosity. One of the ways to do that is just keep lighting the fire in as many different directions as possible and see what areas take light. As interesting way to do that is by starting your day with "Today in History" type ideas or math problems of the day, or some of these interesting daily tidbits.
You may also want to add some of these websites which can give you great jumping off points for daily learing:
I am the mother of two children. We have homeschooled our children since 1st and 2nd grade (they are now in 10th & 11th - so much for giving it a try for one year). We are involved in Scouts, church, and volunteering. We love to learn interesting facts and try new things. Life can sometimes be a little crazy, but in our house no one will ever say that they were bored. And just to assure that, I have now entered seminary to earn my masters in divinity.
