OK, so I know I/we have been having our doubts about homeschooling lately and have actually been scouting around for good progressive, preferably Catholic, preschools (I'm guessing every homeschooling family/mom goes through this at least ONCE, right?!), but how can I NOT post about this, right?! I mean, homeschooling is, like, part of us now. And even if we choose, by God's grace and wisdom, to enroll our kids in a brick-and-mortar school eventually, homeschooling will always be something I advocate for parents to at least try out.
So, save the date, people! :-) The Homeschool Association of the Philippine Islands, or HAPI's 4th Philippine Homeschool Conference is coming soon! :-) (We were so blessed to be able to attend the 3rd Conference in 2010!)
And, YES, no matter what happens with our discernment (to continue homeschooling or not), you'll most probably see me and hubby there! :-) And some of the ROCKERs (our local Catholic homeschool support group) too! ;-)
P.S. Praise GOD! :-) HAPI finally has an official Facebook page here and an official website here. The website is still a "work-in-progress" though, but should be all set up soon! ;-) I highly recommend everyone who is homeschooling or considering homeschooling to link up to HAPI. :-) We need all the support we can get! ;-)
I have been homeschooling for ever. My oldest is 21 and never went to a traditional school. There are always times of doubt. All I can say is that God has kept us going year after year. I am pregnant with two more and plan to also homeschool them as long as God allows. Looking back over the years I am very happy that we stayed homeschooling. Good luck wit your decision.

Hi Neen! :) Thanks for your comment! :) We're still praying hard. Homeschooling here in the Philippines is vastly different from in the US though - esp. in terms of legalities etc. Thank you for your support and encouragement and prayers! :) Will update everyone who's concerned about us re: our decision soon. God bless always!
