whoo hoo were approved!!!

I'm so excited!!.....I finally got all my kids papers submitted for k12 and they just were approved. So now I wait for the materials to arrive. I did receive access to the website to start viewing courses. My Login and password worked, and as soon as I logged in I was expecting an email from the teacher or the school and a welcome. But did not receive any. I then clicked on the contact your teacher link to find out who one of their teachers were, but they were not assigned one yet. So I'm wondering what to do?.......Its not self explanatory you kind of have to click a bunch of things to find the tutorials. I do wish they would have a teacher ready when they approve a student, Because I feel kind of lost.
But I know I can figure things out and I will contact them to find out who it is.
Other then that I'm totally excited and can't wait to spend some time with my kids. I truly feel like this is what they need and I'm determined to follow through with the prompting I received to home school them in the first place.
I'm sad I have to pull them out of school from their friends in the middle of the school year but I feel they will be just fine. They have a very social life after school and tons of cousins that live close by. So they won't lack companionship.
I will miss things that the school offers. Such as Destany's Dare program that she just graduated from.





I love to watch her get excited for things like that.
I will miss things like reflections contest that my girls just entered and took first place in, for film and dance.




I will miss their holiday party's that my little Jewelz just loves. And her excitement about playing with her friends on the playground.
But it's not enough to change my mind. Plus I heard they can still in roll in reflections, choir and orchestra as long as the school agrees.
So hopefully the school will agree. If not it's okay I can hold my own competitions here.
Well looking forward to my materials and can't wait to start. Stay in tune for my pictures of all the supplies when they arrive.
Have a blessed Thursday.

Love is Spoken Here

I can't help but explain this post with the simple yet sweet lyrics of a primary song.

"I see my mother kneeling with our family each day.
I hear the words she whispers as she bows her head to pray.
Her plea to the Father quiets all my fears,
And I am thankful love is spoken here."


I just love the words expressed in this song but also see a huge responsibility that I must live up to. To be a loving mother and a to be a mother my Heavenly Father wants me to be. I must Speak with Love and teach my children by example.

I served in yw and remember a lesson I taught in the yw manual 2 titled home environment. I recall a story by Daryl V. Hoole,

“One striking observation we made while in Holland is that the homes in that tiny land have choice personalities. The window sills in those red brick homes with the red tiled roofs are always filled with rows of flower pots—usually containing geraniums. The windows are large—with never a blind or a screen to cover them. These glistening windows add to the sparkle of the home’s personality. Many of the homes are named. Above the door you might see names such as: Sunny Corner, Sunbeam, Sun Cottage, Peace Haven, Tranquility, or Peaceful Nook. … Warmth and sunshine and pleasantness, together with peace and tranquility and contentment! These are the things which make a house a home”
Daryl V. Hoole, The Art of Homemaking

When I taught this lesson I asked my yw what they would name there homes, I was reminded by this story when I was naming my blog. I came to the decision that there was no other name for me to live up to then the title of


I am new to blogging and I created this blog for the purpose that I decided to home school my children. I came to this decision by a prayer. I didn't ask about homeschooling nor have I ever once thought about home schooling my children. In fact I thought it was crazy to home school. What I did pray for was a way to help my children to better in school because one of them was struggling and to my surprise I had a feeling overcome me with an idea to home school. I didn't act on it at first but could feel the weight on my shoulders every time I tried to disregard it. I finally decided to look into it and felt good about homeschooling and about the k-12 program but still felt I would be holding my kids back from having a normal life. And then I came across a blog. Latter day Home schooling


Reading this blog and the blogs of others gave me confidence and reassurance that what I had felt about homeschooling was the right choice for me. It also helped me notice that I need home schooling for my children in more ways then academic. I realized I need to be teaching them more about the gospel. I feel I have been fulfilling my spirttual duties as a mother because I hold F.H.E and reading scriptures together as a family, But realized there's so much more that I need to be installing in there heads. They will be the future mothers in the latter-days. And I need them strong in righteousness. So reading the blogs made me realize what home schooling as a latter-day saint is all about. And I know that I can do it.
I was also inspired to start my own blog and share my experience while I take this journey in home schooling to help others and also to receive any comments that would help me along the way.
So I look forward to this journey and chose to name my school the only name that I could possibly strive to live up to which is "Love is Spoken here"
