Welcome
May 9, 2006 — educatingthemuslimchildAsalaam 'Alaikum,
Welcome to my feeble attempt at creating a homeschooling blog. For the longest time I was actually afraid of making one - because I really don't have all the answers yet. I'm a new homeschooling mom who sometimes worries if I am doing a good job - who worries if I can handle it. Well, I don't know the answer to those questions - except to say "Insha'Allah" because that's my job now and I have to take it completely seriously.
In the past I have had several projects - things I enjoyed doing. However, since we are now actually traveling the road to homeschool in our house all projects are off-limits. Homeschooling is now my main priority - and trust me, it keeps me busy!
What do I expect out of this blog? I know for one thing - I don't expect to post every day, probably not even every week. Time is crucial and the more distance I make between myelf and the computer - the more things get done! However, I have never enjoyed learning something and not having the opportunity to share it with someone else. If we don't help one another, how can we ever succeed?
So, I am hoping that whenever I come across anything that I believe is possibly beneficial to someone out there - I will try to post it as soon as I can. Who knows, perhaps if we work together we can make a difference. There's only one thing I am certain of - I'm willing to try.
Asalaam 'Alaikum,

Jazaaki Allaahu khairan for such a wonderful blog.
Do you mind if I link you on mine? I had started a blog a while back at http://muslimaat-homeschooling.blogspot.com but I kind of just stopped. I had plans of doing some similar things like your What is the Qur’aan lesson plan. I am working on a website actually and want to add a homeschooling section to it bi’ithnillaah.
Your support would be very much appreciated. `Eid Mubaarak
