What would you tell a mom considering homeschooling?

At this time of year, many moms are wondering what path to follow with their own children next September. In my last post, I shared the homeschooling journey of my daughter Samantha as she moved from reluctance to joy.

I think it would help many of those wondering-about-homeschool moms to hear from those who've gone through similar journeys.

How did you first begin thinking about homeschool? What were your fears and how did you deal with them? Did you struggle with discouragement from relative and friends? How did you figure out what curriculum to use? Did you go to a homeschool conference? Was it helpful? How did you find other homeschooling moms? What is your life like today? Anything you would do differently?

You don't have to answer every question - just whatever you think is important, whatever you might say to a mom considering homeschooling.

I'm setting this up with link capability so you can tell your story either in a comment or as a blog entry linked here. Since MommyLife is now receiving 4,000 visits per day and showing up high on google searches, I'm hoping this round-up of personal experience will help many moms who may also be feeling called to homeschool but facing discouragement from within and without. Please spread the word - and let's share our real-life stories.
