I remember when I first came across No Idle Bread, Stacie's blog.  It was refreshing to hear story of transitioning from a public parent to a homeschooling parent. 

The end of the school year often causes me to reflect and ponder the ways I can make our home school lifestyle better.  When last school year ended, I decided that I wanted to make this current school year better.  Now saying better isn't really measurable so I had to be specific.  Better for me meant being more focused with our time together, making sure I corrected their work consistently which means at least three times per week, and using curriculum that they enjoyed.
