Sorry that would be Ikea.

Hey lady! We are looking in the spring hill area as well. Thank you so much for your kind words! If I could be nosey- would you mind sharing with me why you chose homeschool in your area? I’m sure it’s for lots of reasons- just like us… I’m like a sponge trying to soak it all up right now 🙂 feel free to email me obviously only if you have time (ashley@thehandmadehome.net) would be so grateful for any info you could/would be willing to share! Thanks so much!

Hey Jacque – I am hesitant to answer, because I don’t want to influence anyone either way. That’s kind of decision you really have to make for yourself and your family because it will be so different for everyone. ;} We have some posts in our homeschool series about streamlining and pulling from it, to make it easier, because there is a LOT that goes into it. In short, it was great for us the first year, and after that I just wished we’d used something else because it simply didn’t suit what we were trying to accomplish for our family. With each child, assessing their individual needs, I am now able to control exactly what they’re learning based on their strengths and weaknesses. I became more familiar and comfortable with that as we went along. For example, Pros: Love the books and building up a library to reference, so that has been great. But we also have Amazon prime, and plan to continue doing that on our own. Some of their readers at our oldest sons level were duds and I like being able to pick and choose. One of our main complaints {and this is different for everyone, so grain of salt here} is that I wished there was more to their reading program. My children needed more. It’s just little stuff here and there that prompted us to try something new and geared individually to each child this year. We do suggest the streamlining thing if you’re teaching more than one -it’s a lot! Again, it was a great fit for the first year. It will vary year to year, and we are so glad we used it. It’s just different for everyone. Probably clear as mud it’s just hard to explain.- hope that helps!

Thank you, Abby!
