I love the discussions that homeschooling brings about. Tonight it was making a comment about being thankful for not needing nicer "school clothes" for my kids and they could instead wear out holes in the knees. The Mom next to me in line waiting to get into the consignment sale asked if I was homeschooling. She got very excited and said she'd been homeschooled herself all through school, as had her husband. We had a great 20 minute conversation about types of schooling, resources in the area, and reasons why we homeschool. It was a great chat, and wonderful to talk with someone who's been on the other side of homeschooling.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm a magnet for other homeschooling families. I rarely go out without meeting someone who asks if I'm teaching my kids at home. Do I have a sign over my head? It can be a lot of fun though!

M'd say you "look like a homeschooler." ;)
