When I first started homeschooling I believed I was doing it for my children. The last thing I thought was that homeschooling was going to have any impact on me.

If we haven’t met, my name is Mirley (meet-lay) and I have three children ages 7, 4, and 2. I was a high school teacher and as my daughter got closer and closer to going to school…I just couldn’t do it. I didn’t want to go back to the classroom, so I didn’t think it right for me to send my children.

I was suggested to look into Charlotte Mason when I said children should read engaging books and be out in nature.

The last thing I imagined was that my parenting skills would improve as well as my relationship with God! As a result of following Charlotte Mason’s method, I now..

* read the Bible daily
* watercolor
* Sing hymns
* Read more
* spend quality time with my children
* and so much more

There is still so much more I need to learn and improve on. I’m glad I have Miss Mason as mentor. If you’re thinking about homeschooling for your kids, be ready to see how in fact it changes you as well.

How has homeschooling changed you?
