Coming Soon . . .

Asalaam ‘Alaikum Everyone:

I’m sure some of you were wondering if I would ever crawl back out of my hole.  Well, I guess I am now, insha’Allah.  We’ve been working hard on trying to balance everything out - get settled in homeschooling, get adjusted to new baby and her many demands (masha’Allah), and with everything else that comes our way.

Alhumdulilah, we are still here - we are still homeschooling and I am (from time to time) still making new materials.  Along the way I have also found some things that are really neat to use with the girls for different subjects and want to share them with you, insha’Allah.  Right now, I just wanted to say that we are here - we are back and expect to hear from me soon.

Some things have changed.  We have decided to enroll our oldest in K-12 this coming year.  Believe it or not, we are pretty excited.  Now, before I get accused of “bailing out” I want you to know that we are still homeschooling and we are ensuring that our daughters have the right influences in their lives and that is why we homeschool.  I would love to hear from any other parents who have used K-12 curriculum as I have questions!  We will see how this year goes - if it does not go well, we will have to rethink our plan.  We are ready for that possibility.

Anyway, just wanted you to know that we are doing well and I plan to post as soon as I can get some free time, insha’Allah.  I look forward to sharing with you.

By the way:  Believe it or not that picture at the top of this post is actually a photograph of a science experiment we conducted.  We had so much fun and I enjoyed how the picture turned out that we made it into a background for our computer (a tad altered)!  Yes, I have been trying to learn a bit about nature photography and the like (one of my many passions!) which I hope to develop, insha’Allah.
Asalaam ‘Alaikum,
