New Realization

I've come to the realization over the last month that I am not an unschooler, but I am a extremely relaxed homelearner. What made me think that I was an unschooler was the fact that my kids needed that the first half of the year. This half, they need more workbook time. There is still time in our day to explore other interests, play, and just be. But, as I begin to look ahead, I see the need for some more workbook time. I still will be the mom who believes learning can be fun...therefore, I will make room in the budget for as many fun things as I can find. But their must be balance. I give the credit to God for leading me to this place where I have peace about the direction of my kids education.
