You CAN do it!

Over Spring Break I had the pleasure of visiting my daughter and her family.  While there, she taught me how to crochet this little washcloth made with cotton thread, complete with a scalloped border!  It's a simple project, especially for her.

As a homeschool mom, we did handicrafts from time to time and I taught my daughter the basics of crochet.  Now, she knows far more than I do!  That is why she teaches me.  She has won 1st place ribbons at the state fair for her crocheted dolls and has made this adorable Tinkerbell outfit for her baby girl as well as a stunning Irish lace table runner for me.

       What does all of this have to do with 
                    homeschooling?

                          EVERYTHING!
Many times I have heard moms lament that they cannot teach their children something because they don't know how or don't know enough.  That is a serious barrier sometimes.  But what they don't realize is that if they know enough (or can learn enough) to get their children started, the children can learn more themselves.  Isn't that the goal...to foster independent learners?​
