Just to say hello.....

So I finally decided to get myself together and start a blog.  I might as well introduce myself.  I am a mom of 3 kids living at home.  My husband was in the navy for 20 years, so we lived all over.  Now that he is retired, we have settled outside of Topeka, Kansas, where his family lives.  After realizing how much the public school system was failing our kids, we decided to homeschool.  This is our first year.  Now, we are not doing it for religious reasons, which seems to exclude us from alot of curriculum and support.
 Another challenge we face is that we currently live with his parents, strong (and vocal) christians.  We are not raising our kids that way, more toward humanists.  This blog is a study in our challenges, triumphs, and maybe just a little coffee talk for my sanity.
