Re: homeschool, NT and Raw milk--was Self Intro of Dona in OK: Welcome!

[Guest guest]

Ya know Amy,

I have often wondered the same thing myself. I am a WAPF chapter

leader and am the director of our local raw milk co-op. I field lots

of calls every day from folks about health issues, who are also looking

for local raw milk, grass fed meats, kombucha or kefir info etc. and

many many of them are homeschool, stay-at-home moms. The only reason I

can think of is that it's because sahm's actually prepare meals and

surf the net for information. Sahm's are also into learning, into

information gathering. I know I am. They've made a conscious decision

to stay at home and pursue that career with gusto. And they aren't

like the working moms who don't have a lot of time to make meals. They

put a lot of thought and time into food choices. That's what I think.

Welcome, Dona!

I am a homeschooler myself.two boys 16 and 11. I don't want my kids to

graduate either. Much as they drive me nuts, I like having them with me.

I am wondering how many homeschoolers ther are on this list. Raw milk,

NT and homeschooling seem to be a perfect fit. Wonder why?

{raising hand) J We are homeschoolers

too. I suppose you could say it’s the big

picture that is our lifestyle. I do make

most everything from scratch and pay very careful attention to what goes into

our lives… food and education are important and taken “that”

seriously.

We are also homeschoolers. This is our 18th year homeschooling 10

children. The oldest 2 have officially graduated from highschool, but both

are still happily at home. One has a home business ( she is also the

official family laundress...helped by the younger girls) and the other is

taking online secondary classes, baking all the bread and doing most of the

cooking (helped by everyone!).

Our 17 YO son and I share the milking responsibilities, and he enjoys the

cows as much as I do. The younger boys take care of the chickens, turkeys

and the beef cows.

18 years ago we were going to try homeschooling for a year. Now we can not

imagine any other lifestyle.
