I found this quote the other day and thought I would share:
"The Lord organized the family unit in the beginning. He intended that the home be the center of learning-that the father and mother be teachers. . . As prophetic events unfold, one thing is certain: we will all need to teach more within the walls of our own homes. In the Book of Mormon we find some models: 'I Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father'(1 Nephi 1"). No doubt Nephi was taught the things of the Spirit-his writings reveal that. He probably was taught practical matters as well, for he was a very resourceful man. Today that son is fortunate whose father teaches him somewhat in all his learning."

Excellent quote. I think I'll print it out.
Hey Boston! I'm Stef, one of Echo's friends in HI. I wanted to say i LOVE your blog. My children are 1 and 2 1/2 now, and I'm on the homeschooling fence. I think you're amazing and strong for having the patience, organization, confidence, etc. etc. to teach your children. I feel like i'm not selfless enough and not patient enough ... ok, and too lazy, but i LOVE the idea of homeschooling, REALLY being a full-time mother. I guess it's intimidating to me, to be honest.
So I'll probably be dropping by as I'm trying to decide whether I'm up to the task. :)
