When I first met her, I didn't think I was going to like her at all, but my husband and I made an instant connection with her son, who was 2 years old at the time. That was two years ago. So, we have grown closer. It is amazing to see God working in her life. In the beginning, I thought her mother would win and keep her away from God, but I see God is the one that is winning. Pretty awesome!
My son told me she was telling him that when she goes over to her mother's house and then comes to my house, she just wants to go home and clean. lol She used to be a terrible housekeeper, but is turning out to do very well.
And changing the subject, again, have you seen these workbooks by Kumon? They would be great for your grandchildren. I just ordered six more this morning, because they are only around $5 each at Amazon. I don't think there are any finer educational workbooks than these. It makes learning fun.

I will certainly check those out! My daughter told me just yesterday that she is seriously contemplating homeschooling when the time comes. I'm proud of her!!
I cannot believe it's been two years already! A lot has happened in those two years.

I used these types of things for my children. Played a lot of games, especially math, before we used a textbook. I don't think I used a math text until 5th grade - Saxon. Peggy Kaye has several really good learning games books, i.e. Games for Math, Games for Writing... I would highly recommend. I borrowed some of those from our local library.
Now, at work, my son will figure up fractions in his head and his boss just tells him to shut up. LOL! He texted me one day and said, "Mom, I just want to thank you for teaching me at home." That made me feel good, because it was a lot of pressure for me.
AND, my daughter sold a house yesterday!! They moved and she got out of Real Estate for a while, because she was so unfamiliar with the city. Now, a woman has sponsored her, taken her under her wing and she is doing great. She makes money designing social media, business cards, you name it.
I told her the other day, "Just think that started with you trying to forge a fake ID when you were 14." LOL! She said, "You will never let me live that down." I said, "Actually, you became very talented with that little project."

Learning at your own pace is awesome.

She designed the thing on the computer and it was perfect. I walked by the computer and said, "If you use that you will go to jail and I won't bail you out." LOL!
