About us. Us would be me, dh and our three kids - Aubrey, 13, Jordan, 8 and Alex 7. We live on a couple of acres in the midwest and have been homeschooling for two years. I guess we would fall under the homeschooling umbrella of “eclectic”. We have some structure and use some curriculum–but we use it, it doesn’t use us and we always have time for life first, formal studies second. I don’t have any grand master plans and am taking each day and each year as it comes and doing whatever works best for us in where we are at today.
