Everything But....

I have gone to school for over 25 years... taken courses about everything imaginable. Yet, I have never blogged! So, I am here to learn what I can - and to see if I can! I look forward to being challenged!

New to Blogging

I am BRAND new to blogging, hence I am even taking the free blogging pre-course. So far so good, everything is running smoothly. I'm just not sure what exactly I am going to Blog about yet. hmmmmmm.

Intro from a Real Army Wife

Oh, don't get me wrong: I am totally addicted to the show, "Army Wives" but it is a bit overly dramatic...but only a little! My name is Jenn and I am a real army wife. I am also a mom to four kids: one that is doing virtual public school, two that I am homeschooling and the youngest is doing a combination of outside preschool and preschool at home! We are also a split family which certainly makes things interesting. I've learned so very much about parenthood, home organization and housekeeping, and homeschooling. I can't wait to start blogging on my own so I can share my tips with other families and learn some new ones, too!

Hello World!



I'm here as part of the Blog Writing Pre-Course and I'm ready to make my mark on the digital world. Look out Seth Godin, I will soon knock you out of the king of the hill spot in the blogasphere. I already have a blog called What Matters but sometimes I run out of things to talk about. I'm hoping this class will inspire me to get back to my blog and be more faithful in using it to focus on what matters in life instead of things that don't.

My First Blog

This is obviously my first attempt at blogging. I am interested in starting a blog about extreme poverty. I feel this subject is under reported by the mainstream media. I hope to write about this topic and receive feedback from individuals who are also concerned about this ongoing crisis. Perhaps we can develop enough interest to actually make a small difference in the lives of so many who are suffering.

Blogging

Some might say it's way too early in the morning for this sort of thing...

dad homeschooler

hey! i'm currently an endangered species, called dadus homus schoolerus. In plain English, that means I am the father of two grade-school aged boys, I work from home, and I home school both boys. Life as an endangered species is interesting, to say the least. The expressions on some folks' faces are priceless when my wife and I inform them we home school. However, when we tell them I (the dad) am the one who is the home schooler, it's over-the-top! Thanks for reading my bloglet.
