Well, Hello There!

I'm probably writing to myself, but I caught a wild hair to post to my blog again. I'm so excited, I can't stand it (not about posting to the blog, but about what we're about to embark on for homeschool). I've decided that we are going to read the Little House book series together and learn whatever we may as we go through it! I didn't really realize until I decided to try this that I have never actually read these books (pause for shock and awe)... I just finished reading the first three chapters of the "Little House in the Big Woods" and I am mesmerized.

Before beginning this endeavor, I read a biography on Laura Ingalls Wilder which made me all the more anxious to begin. Did you know that she didn't actually start writing this series until she was 65 years old? Unbelievable! There is still time for me to have new dreams to fulfill. I also can't believe the history present in this series of books and the ease of reading for both kids and adults. I am eager to start this week, and I do hope to post periodically as we walk through them together. I'll tell you what we learn! Zoe seems to mainly be looking forward to traveling to some of the historic sights I've told her about. I certainly hope we get the opportunity.
