Homeschooling

We are a homeschool family, and we’ve been homeschooling for over 9 years.  It’s not something we thought we would be doing with our family, but when our first born was starting first grade, we knew we were suppose to homeschool.  We are not homeschool experts, but I do enjoy homeschooling, and I’ve shared some of my homeschooling tips and experiences on my HubPages.

I’ve written about what homeschooling is and isn’t, a good way to start homeschooling, homeschooling through high school, how to make homeschool transcripts and how to make a homeschool portfolio.  I’ve had such a great time writing all of them.  I have a few more homeschooling ideas I plan to write about, including being part of a homeschool group.

I know when I first started homeschooling, I couldn’t read enough information about it.  I was always looking for tips and techniques, what worked with others and what didn’t, and even how hard it could be at times.  All those kinds of articles were always very encouraging for me, and I hope that the articles I have written will be encouraging to others.

Getting into the groove

I think I’m finally getting into a groove with online writing.  It’s been a hard process, mentally, for me getting things settled with what I want to do.  But I’ve prayed, talked with my hubby and I finally feel set with where I’m headed.

I’ve written a new lens tonight about how to make a blog button.  And I’m excited to see that my iPod Touch lens has moved up a bit.  I still haven’t written my next homeschool hub on HubPages, I hope to do that tomorrow or the next day.

I’ve joined RocketMoms and that has been great.  There are some great encouraging women on there, and I’ve learned a lot just from the few days I’ve been there.

Well that’s the update of how my work is going.  Thanks for stopping by.

Some different articles.

Things are going pretty well with my writing.  I got a big sidetracked reading, studying & trying to learn more about SEO and keywords.  I think I’ve learned enough for now, probably enough to be dangerous.  lol  I’ll try to remember to do keyword searches and such, but I like to write, and that’s what I’m going to focus on.  I will try to remember to do keyword searches but with Google’s algorithm change, it shows thinks are always changing.  So I’m going to start writing more.

I have written the first two parts in a 3-4 part series I’m writing about Irritable Bowel Syndrome.  Part one is here and part two is here.  I think they turned out ok, but until I finish writing all parts I’m not sure.  I’ll have to go back and edit them once I have them all written.   Making sure I didn’t repeat some information and that I didn’t forget some things I wanted to write.  This is my first series I’ve written, and at times I want to put all the information in one lens, it’s just easier when I’m writing.  But I know it’s better to spread the information out in different lenses.

I want to get back to writing some hubs too at HubPages.  I still have to get used to writing in two different places.  I’m working on a homeschool series on my HubPages, but I haven’t gotten back to it for a while.  I’m still in the learning stages of how to schedule my online time and utilize it the best.
