Education's Journey

I knew when I started this, that it would be a new challenge for me to keep up with everything life throws at me. I didn't think that a whole year would go by, and only 4 or so posts added. My bad!!
I've spent a year adjusting to many of life's curve balls.
My second oldest daughter is now experiencing public education. And to my surprise, it has been a wonderful experience for her. Just goes to show ya that each child has different needs and those needs must be met individually. My three others are still at home with me all day, and wouldn't change it for the world.
The blogging didn't seem to cure my need for sharing my thoughts, so I ventured into some freelance writing opportunities. I am now a published writer at Associated Content, http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/196889/stefany_holloway.html as as Helium (I shared the link in a previous posts). I only have 52 articles collectively between the two sites, but I guess that's not too bad for just experimenting...right? My focus, of course, has been on education. But I've ventured out of comfort zone a couple of times with some plays, poems, and religious meanderings.
My fiance lost his job last spring, so I've been pushed out into the work world. I've just been babysitting for a friend...for pennies...but it helps keept the roof over our heads. It has been a struggle to find new ways to save here and still survive. But somehow we are doing it. Maybe breaking into print...or html...will help us in this area.
My new focus, and perhaps the one I've been looking for all along, is writing for children. Since I've never really bought into the whole curriculum packages, and instead have always developed my own for my children. And now experiencing one of my children in ps, without missing a beat. I'm sure that what I've been doing works and will be successful. I just have to find that extra hour or two in the day to gather all my thoughts, pull them together, and place them into a workable format. Who knows, in a decade or two, homeschoolers everywhere could be quoting me and posting my face on their blogs????
