For the past eight years, I have been homeschooling my four children. My home is not well organized, I'm terrible at planning, and not particularly good at crafts. I won't have much to offer the reader about those things, or if I do, it will probably be because I found something on a better blog than this one. Many times over the course of our years of homeschooling, I have had the urge to write down the interesting, funny, or just plain weird things that come up in our lives. And so today, I begin to share those things with you two or three people who might actually read this.
The blog title, "Parva Domus" comes from a plaque that a friend gave my husband and I for our wedding. The plaque actually reads "Parva domus, magna quies." Latin for "small house, great peace." It hung above our front door for years until it was misplaced in our last move. The parva domus part at least has always been apt for us (we're still working on the magna quies part). We do live in a small house with space at a premium, and this can present interesting challenges to homeschooling.
If there is one thing I hope to accomplish with this blog, it is to show that homeschooling can be done under less than ideal circumstances.
