To homeschool or not to homeschool? That is the question.

It's been a month or so that my husband and I have been discussing the homeschool debate. I am probably more for it than against it than my husband might be at this time. I would like for our decision to homeschool to be completely made before the middle of the summer. This would allow me time to either enroll my children in public school (our school district requires enrollment of every child, every year) or to purchase curriculum for my new third grader, kindergartener, and preschooler. I would also like to know whether or not I need to plan to attend the homeschool conference scheduled locally in August. I have just about finished both homeschooling book and feel confident that I am more than capable of homeschooling my children. Of course the plan always sounds good until I go to execute it. I have faith though that God will see us through this just as he has with other trials in our family's life.

Just for share, here are two of the packaged curriculums I found more affordable for the budgeting homeschool family. These are also on our list we plan to select from. We are still deciding if we homeschool whether to purchase a boxed curriculum set or mix and match to get all the subjects.

Timberdoodle- Bare bones foundation of core subjects with still room to add extras as it suits your family.

LifePac- Biblically based science, math, reading, etc, all the core subjects you need for grades K-12 with add on electives.
