Introductory Post

Hey everyone!  I am trying out this new blog thing.  I am new at this, so no laughing at my bad photography or writing skills.  Believe it or not, my Grace and Naomi have been blogging a little.  I taught them to set up accounts, personalize them, and post.  Then like a good "Charlotte Mason" mommy, I told them to post their history narrations.  After that, they can post personal stuff.  They think it is an online scrapbook, and for the moment it has given them a new lift,  "Mom, can I blog today?"  what?  they want to practice writing?  It has been good because along with history and blogging, I am teaching some Learning Strategies for writing sentences.  If it were up to one of my beauties, punctuation would not exist.  Thus the blogging  and commenting gives us ample editing opportunities.... We will see if the fun wears off.  Of course I have taught them the five rules of kids and posting.  Maybe I will write a post about that later.  If you want to read their blogs, I will try to learn how to get a blog roll on here soon. If you have a blog and are willing to share, I will put it on the blog roll too!   For now, I am using this blog as a hub for our homeschool co-op. Title complements to Tiffany.  Thank you Tiff.  Salt and Light?  what do you think of it?   I will try to post pics of the kiddos work as well as needed information.  If you are curious, I am planning to stay away from first and last names of our babes.  When I started, I also tried to stay away from full face photos, but our kids are sooo cute- how can I resist! If you object to any othis, LET ME KNOW, and I will honor your wishes.  Also, if you have any older kids who may want to blog, my kiddos would love some buddies to follow and comment with. 

January 9th, We had a crazy good time in the older art class.  I bossed all the moms around while the kiddos cranked out page after page using different painting techniques.  Later, we will be making fun collages with those pieces of art.  I am just so impressed with your kids' creativity.  I am going to try to post a few of those.... before we collage them. 

Also a happy welcome to Kirstian, Kaleb, Jill, and Audrey.  Good thing they did not come on the first day.  If so, they probably would not have returned.  Crazy how far we have come, Ladies!  I am so thankful for all of you.
