Hello from a homeschooler

I homeschool my three boys - 11, 8, and 6 - all three of them have always been homeschooled. We've homeschooled through my dad having cancer for a year and then dying, through me starting therapy and all that that entails, through a TON of testing and eventual diagnosis of my middle son with aspergers - through anything and everything! Life happens, and it does affect our day to day schooling.

The great thing about homeschooling, for us, is that we can take breaks whenever we need them. We do school year-round, so if I have a couple of terrible days mental-health-wise, we can take a break. If my aspie son is off the wall for a day, we can take a break. If it's a beautiful fall day and we just want to hike and play, we can. There are 365 days in the year and according to the law (in the US where I live), we have to "do school" on 180 days - we do that easily, and have time for whatever life throws our way at the same time.
