15yrs - A Review

Well my computer actually died, taking some things with it, and leaving this very neglected this year.  I had wondered if I wanted to continue posting on here- I really started it as a sort of a diary of homeschooling when I was quite uncertain of how it would go, and if I would be able to do it.  I know I can now.  I think  this is 15yrs.  Best decision for our family. 

There's been ups and downs and it gets a lot easier as time goes along- or at least it gets more familiar.  Children come with themes and personalities, certain things usually happen at certain time in childhood and having this knowledge makes home educating my younger two children easier than my older two children.  I have an idea of the path and the way forward.  The older two are still more challenging, but the older two also now are on their own journeys into adulthood- the oldest working in internet security, and enjoying it, and the second looking for work and continuing to study at home- in particular working on drawing, Japanese and maths in this past year as he contemplates the idea that he would like to study and work in Japan. 
I am thinking I will try to keep posting on this from time to time.  I've had a little feedback that it has given people the idea that they could home educate, and that was the other reason that I put it here.  To help provide others with ideas of "how to...".
