I've taken the journals down due to the printing of my book, Life Lessons. The book is a compilation of the journal entries that have been here since we began homeschooling in 2003.

I've taken those entries and added comments and information based on what we are doing now, in 2005, as we begin our 3rd year of homeschooling. My goal for the book is the same as these journal entries - to encourage new homeschooling parents and to help them realize that homeschooling life is not always like what is pictured in the magazines.

You can purchase a softcover, wire-bound copy from my Cafe Press shop.

You can also purchase a less expensive, downloadable copy in pdf format from my ebay auctions. The auctions will run for 7 days each time and will be relisted often. You can always find my auction listings on my About Me Page at ebay.

Read the preface and the first 5 pages here.

You can always read my current blog at Routon Family Homeschool and email me at gift_lady at yahoo dot com to request a purchase of a pdf copy.
