Remember when you started homeschooling? High hopes for a great year? I remember feeling like an explorer, embarking on a journey to places yet undiscovered. On the flip side, I remember the first time I took my kids to the store in the middle of the school day, feeling strange that my kids were there with me when it was "officially" school time in the brick and mortar school buildings. Would anyone ask me why my kids weren't in school? How would I respond?
As I look back, there was so much I didn't know. Now, well into our eighth homeschool year, the doubts that arose throughout that first year (when reality kicked in and I learned perfection was not possible) are long gone. It's not any "easier" to homeschool, but I have grown more comfortable as a homeschooling mom.
What about you? What's the one thing you know now that you wish you had known when you first started homeschooling? What's the one piece of advice you would give to a new homeschooler?
I look forward to hearing from you!

I wish I would have known that I didn't have to have everything figured out before I got started. I've learned so much through trial and error. I think all new homeschoolers should give themselves the freedom to make mistakes.
