My son isn't even 2 yet, but I think about homeschooling a lot. I'm really inspired to hear how you live (single not-huge income, old car, small house, etc.) because it lets me know it's possible. We're already on a tight budget, so I've been worried that we won't be able to afford all the supplies, etc. that homeschooling will require (we need at least a few things!). I still have a few years to work it out...and I'll be paying attention to how you've done it!Sylvia@MaMammaliahttp://mamammalia.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-22010241619989148702011-08-30T21:59:25.981-04:002011-08-30T21:59:25.981-04:00@Adrienne

I think it's important for other families who are thinking about homeschooling to know that there ARE other families out there who are able to make sacrifices to keep their kids out of school. BTW, do you want to move to Canada? It's pretty nice here.....<br />@Cat<br />Did you know that the province of Ontario has two fully funded education systems? One is non-denominational and the other is CATHOLIC. Just thought you'd like to know...Patti @ Jazzy Mamahttp://www.angelbabyjazzymama.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-79718207824888880782011-08-30T21:43:24.880-04:002011-08-30T21:43:24.880-04:00Man, what financial sacrifices *haven't* we ma...Man, what financial sacrifices *haven't* we made so I can stay home!?? Food stamps, government medical care, and living a very, very minimal lifestyle are just a few of the adjustments we made when we went do two incomes that brought in over $50,000/year to one that only brings in around $19,000. We moved to a town that is much cheaper to live in, which helped tremendously. Sacrifices galore, but every one worth it for me to be home with my little man. Homeschooling won't start "officially" for a few years, but we're learning together every day.Adriennehttp://mommyingmyway.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-51373512115253077462011-08-30T21:05:33.496-04:002011-08-30T21:05:33.496-04:00We haven't quite gotten to homeschooling yet (...We haven't quite gotten to homeschooling yet (although I suppose we're unschooling!), but we've made some changes in order for me to stay home. We have $18/month in our restaurant budget, where it used to be $40, for example. I agree, if homeschooling is truly what you desire, you can find a way. For my grandparents, Catholic school was a priority for them. They figured out a way to put all nine children through Catholic school on a professor's salary. My parents put the three of us through Catholic school on one salary. Homeschooling is much cheaper than that!CatholicMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891482933710549819noreply@blogger.com
