Let the journey begin!

So not only are we a mere 2 weeks away from a move to California from Washington, but hubby and I have decided to homeschool our seven year old, Michael. I have quite a few compelling reasons for this. At the top of that list is the fact that he is a very smart kid and I'm tired of babysitting teachers to make sure he is being challenged. The fact is, that's not fair to a teacher 20+ kids.

My name is Lisa, I'm a SAHM to 2 boys, Michael, as mentioned above, who is 7 and Benjamin who is 3. We are from Southern CA and have lived here in Washington state the past 18 months. We are just about ready to go back to CA though. I just hate it here. It's not "me" My hubby and I grew up in California and all of our family lives there still. We came up here for a company who turned around and laid hubby off a few months after we got here. How lame!!

At this point I don't have any fabulous homeschool tips or websites or anything. I am still trying to figure out what forms we need and where to get a good curriculum and so on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hey Lisa! :)
My mom homeschooled my little brother for most of elementary school with the Calvert curriculum.
(www.calvertschool.org). It's fantastic, challenging and nationally recognized... :) You really can't go wrong with it!

My father is a teacher there and we are hoping to get Benjamin into the actual school since he gets a tuition break... :)
