Goals and Methods of Home Education

A post in a Homeschool Blog Carnival lead me to an article on Learning How to Learn, the Goal of Self Teaching. Reading that article lead me to check out more thoroughly the site is was on and I was pleased to find a series of posts on the author's Educational Philosophy. You can get to the whole series by following the links from this first one. Lots to think about there.

Reviving this slumbering blog

It's been over a year ago since I last posted to this blog, much longer than Willa's lapse but something she said started me thinking about restarting this blog. I love to write, always have. I once dreamed of having a career that involved writing somehow. Then I went through a spell of hardly writing at all but I just couldn't stay away from it. I need to write - not because I have anything great to say, but just because I find it so helpful to me. So, here I am starting this blog up again after a great time of slumber.

I have not, however, been silent in the time of slumber for this blog. I have been blogging in other places. I discovered the world of scrapbooking and started a scrapbooking blog back in September of 2006. If you're interested you can check it out here. I'm not sure how long it will be around, though, because the site that hosts it is going through some changes. The posts are mostly about my scrapping creations but there are some posts that are simply jabberings about life and starting in February 2007 I felt the need to incorporate some daily devotional posts in there. These devotional posts ended up being nothing more than scripture postings after a while. When I got word that the site that hosted that blog may be shutting down I started another scrapping blog. I moved my main scrapping posts over to my new blog and I've been writing there since October 2007. You can check it out here if you like. That one has been strictly for scrapping stuff and I've been feeling the need to either incorporate more life stuff into that one or revive this one.

I finally decided today to revive this blog. I debated moving some of the devotional posts from my old site over here but I've decided not to bother. There was nothing earth shattering there anyway, just as there is not likely to be anything earth shattering here. Doesn't matter. This is for me. A place for me to jabber about my life and things that catch my interest outside of scrapping. Anybody that wants to listen in is welcome, and if you do drop by I'd love for you to say hi.
