Intro: My name is Leigh. I am a SAHM of two boys, ages 3 and 2, and married to DH for almost 12 years. I homeschool, serve as our church’s MOPS Coordinator, and lead a Women’s Bible Study for moms.
I am currently enrolled in a Homeschool qualifying course for the state of Washington. It has really helped me to understand why I am doing what I am doing, and have the confidence and conviction to continue.
I decided to blog to keep my thoughts organized. This homeschool world is so diverse that I needed a place to sort and record and figure out what is right for our family. Also, when I feel discouraged, I like to look back and see how much we have accomplished.
Here is my "Dream House" (more or less)
I love:
Covered porches
Master on main floor (I prefer one level, but I also like the look of dormer windows)
I love the look of cottages and farmhouses
I would love a large rec room that would double as a school room and also have an office for DH
I would like a master suite, a large room for the boys to share, and two guest rooms (one to be for when the boys are older and want their own space)
That house is gorgeous. I think I’d like that one too. I always thought I’d like an upstairs until I lived in one last year. I much prefer my one level, thank you very much. Those stairs about killed me! I’m a ranch girl myself…..I loved your post. It’s nice to learn some things about you…..
Love, Kathy
Just wanted to say “hello” to a fellow classmate! : )

Fantastic first post and a beautiful dream house! This assignment has been so much for me to travel around the blogging classroom and read all these entries. Thanks for joining the fun and please take a moment to visit your classmates websites. Their links are posted on the bottom of my blog.
Nice to meet you…I just love your dream home. ~Holly
I’m also a fan of the covered porch and farmhouse. Are you required to take your homeschool qualifying class or is it an extra?
You lucky girl!! I just read on Tamara’s blog that you have this honour!! Enjoy your week, your dream house is truly lovely!
Blessings

I too love that dream house! It looks like the perfect house, like one that’s on tv! I hope The Lord blesses you with your dream home….blessings~juliet
I was just checking my blog feeds and saw that you are the featured classmate. I wanted to stop by and say hi, so “HI!” I’m curious about this qualifying class you’re taking. Would you post about it sometime?

Lovely dream home! I’m with you – master on the main floor – I’m NOT all about climbing stairs all day long. Yes, do tell about this qualifying class. In AZ, all we do is sign an afidavit stating we’re home educating our children. That’s it. No testing, no qualifying, etc.
Praying the Lord’s blessings in abundance to you!

Congrats on your selection!
Beautiful! I love big porches too.
How are you ? I added you to my page today. Welcome to the blogger school. I am wondering what is MOPS? We dont have that around here that I know of. Have a great homeschooling day.

Hello fellow class mate.
I like your dream home look.
Nice to meet you.
Hello from a Blogger Friend School classmate. 🙂

You are on the right track. So many times we think we’ve done nothing when in reality,. we’ve been moving mountains on a daily basis. You have chosen a beautiful house.
Hello fellow classmate : ) Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I love your dream home and the wrap around porch. I think everyone should have one of those : )
Blessings,

Hi there. I just signed up for the school today! Just dropping by to say HI!!! :o)
I enjoyed reading your post! This is a fun way to get to know other moms. Have a wonderful week.
I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you. You look like you are doing a great job homeschooling your little ones. We are in our tenth year of homeschooling and you will be surprised at how quickly time flies by. Every year is different. Each child is different. Just keep taking those wonderful pictures. They will encourage you when you do have “bad” days. God bless from another classmate in the Blogger Friend School! 🙂
Blogging to remind you just how much schooling you have accomplished. What a good idea. I know I get tunnel vision sometimes and think we haven’t done much but later when I see all they’ve learned I’m encouraged.
You were the very first person to welcome me to the blogosphere; now here we are fellow classmates. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Have a lovely day.
Just wanted to come by and meet you. I’m new to the Blogger Friend School.
Your dream house is lovely!
It’s wonderful that you’ve chosen to homeschool. I became a homeschooler when I was pregnant with my first…who is now 16 years old. You’ll never regret it.
