Now, let’s get back to the party!

Love this idea and would love to take part in this blog!
We mostly use Classical with MFW and other resources and this is our 4th year homeschooling our 2 daughters! (6 and 8)
I love classical, but was still eclectic overall. What is MFW?
Tricia told me that MFW is My Father’s World. Great curriculum to be using!
Thanks for stopping by my site! Thanks for sharing the Easter Resurrection Rolls! Nice to meet you!
Jennifer from Teachingboys.net
You’re so welcome. Glad you like the resurrection rolls
I found you through the blog party!!! I’mlooking forward to reading more on your site.
My little guy is too young for formal schooling, but I’m always interested in reading about educational activities for young tots, so I’ll be reading any/all posts about that! (my guy is a year and a half)
my link up can be found here http://hopefulfuture.blogspot.com/2012/04/ultimate-blog-party-2012.html
So glad you came over. Toddlers are so much fun (& exhausting). I’ll be posting some activities & books for toddlers soon.
I’ll head on over to your blog shortly.
Hi Kerry, I can’t wait to see your posts about keeping the home. I find this the most challenging thing about homeschooling. hope you will stop by. Thanks! http://www.trueaimeducation.com/2012/03/teaching-preschoolers.html
Thanks for stopping by. Actually I have a guest post about the home that I’ll post this week instead of next week. I’ll be hopping over to your blog shortly.
Thanks for all of your tips and info, Kerry! I loved the phases of the moon activity and the lucky charms graph. My kids will do anything if it involves sweet foods!
Your kids aren’t the only ones that do anything that involves food.
I love seeing your tips in my email and as posts on Facebeook. When I get both I know I am not missing anything!
BY the way, I think MFW from Kim’s post stands for the My Father’s World curriculum.
Tricia,
Thanks for the kind words. I know My Father’s World, but didn’t know the abbreviation. Good curriculum to use.
Hi Kerry,
I am Amy over at Missional Mama. As a homeschooling mama as well, I look forward to following your blog in my reader and learning from you.

What a great blog. Homeschooling can be lonely for the teacher, so your resources and encouragement are important.
I appreciate you visiting my UBP12 party post!

Julie,
Thanks for making our way over here. I really do love chocolate. How can anyone NOT like chocolate? 🙂
Enjoyed my visit here from UBP12! Noticed that you have started to learn digital scrapbooking – I made the change from paper, too – and am loving it!
I got my 1st digital scrapbook in the mail last week. Can’t wait to give it to my hubby on Thursday night for his birthday. Thanks for stopping by.
Good to meet you. We homeschool too. I love it. Always looking for resources. Nice of you to post some.
Back to the party.
Always nice to meet fellow homeschoolers. If you need a resource for something specific, let me know. I love sharing resources that worked for us.
I’m glad I found you through #ubp12! My daughter is only 8 months old, but I’m on the hunt now for great teaching resources. Love your website and am excited to follow your Facebook page.
Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be hopping over to your site this afternoon for the UBP. Let me know if there’s ever a topic you’d like us to cover.
Great site! Liked on FB and twitter! I’m a freelance writer who’s having too much fun at this party! Hope you’ll stop by and see me, too, during this UBP!
Kelly,
I’m having lots of fun at this party, too. It’s my first UBP party. I’ll be checking back with you about virtual schooling.
Visiting via UBP and I’m another hs mom. I’ve graduated two so far and three more to go. In fact, my youngest is five now so I’ll be doing this for quite awhile longer. Great informative site.
You will be doing HS for awhile. My youngest graduated last yr so we are empty nesters. All are still in town so we see them frequently. Thanks for stopping by.
Kerry, Thank you so very much for stopping by my blog and for leaving a comment. I truly appreciate it!
You are so welcome. I really enjoyed your blog and the atmosphere of it.
Hi Kerry – thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving a comment. And thanks for letting me know you had a new blog too. It has been nice to visit with you again. I was just flipping through Raising Leaders… Not Followers again yesterday! Hope to visit each other in blogland again.
Isn’t it fun how we can meet up? If you have any feedback on Raising Leaders, Not Followers, please let me know. Always trying to improve it.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog to say hello 🙂 If you decide to participate in the 100 Day Photo Challenge don’t hesitate to share your link on my post! Looking forward to connecting with you and reading your blog.
Jessica
I’ll let you know what I decide.
You have such a beautiful family Kerry. I’m just starting to get into digital scrapbooking and kinda liking it. It seems to go a lot faster for me than paper.
So nice to find your blog through UBP! I’m looking forward to reading more!
Melissa~
Thanks for the kind words about our family. Another reason I like digital scrapbooking is I can make a project one times, but get multiple copies. When I started making my mom’s calendars online, I started ordering 6 copies (1 for my mom, 1 for Steve & me, and 1 for each of our kids).
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Enjoying the UBP! Looking forward to reading your book. I am a homeschooling mom too. I did like you on fb, follow you on twitter, and add you to my feed so I guess that’s 3 entries in the drawing? Thanks for that little bonus! – Laura
Hi Kerry! You have a great blog… I just subscribed. Thanks for visiting mine from the UBP. Looking forward to learning from you.
It’s so cool when like minds find each other. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi, I’m a new follower from the Ultimate Blog Party. I’m enjoying looking around your blog, stop by and say Hi if you get some time. #UBP12
PS I’m a homeschool mom myself!

Jennifer,
Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be visiting some more UBP blogs this afternoon & yours will be at the top of the list. If you have a topic you want us to cover, let me know.
hey there!! I love to see homeschool graduates and hear how well they are doing!! I am homeschooling my 10 and 12 year old girls–we love it!!
I have 3 kids – 1 has Marketing degree & Teaching Certificate, married, 1 working on 3rd internship (including Cotton Bowl) at Texas A&M & will graduate this yr, 1 is freshman at Texas A&M with great grades & part of leadership organization. I’m amazed how God has worked in all of their lives after leaving our home. Praise Him! And, they still come over for Sunday lunch.
Thanks for stopping by! You have a cool blog! Apparently some of the content you are linking is member only?
Amy,
There should not be any links to member only…at least none that I can remember. If you get a chance, let me know where you found a bad link.
Thanks for stopping by.
I don’t homeschool, but my son attends a really good Christian school.
Charity,
I homeschooled for 10yrs. We also did private Christian school and played sports in public school.
Hi! I’m stopping by from the UBP – belatedly because my week was just insane so I had no time before now to visit anyone – and am so glad to “meet” you. I, too, am a homeschooler who writes about our home learning journey as well as other things. Hope you’ll stop by: http://tinahollenbeck.blogspot.com/2012/04/2012-ultimate-blog-party.html.
Tina,
Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to see your site and getting to know you better.
