Jacqueline-
5 acre garden, 3 kids at or under age 6 , homeschooling AND a full-time
employed spouse- I'd say you have your hands alittle full! I'm not sure
WHAT specifically your concerned about, but , having been a market grower
for 12 years and a homeschooling parent of 2(now in school at ages 16 and
18), I'll vouch that though it's a full load, it makes for a 'full and rich
life' doing what your doing. I tried to keep my workload sane when mine
we're little, just doing 1 market a week (now i do 3-4- insane). We
'schooled' in the mornings, worked in the afternoons/evenings- Saved the
meat of the curriculum for the winter time. Your probably doing all this in
one form or another already i imagine- though there are 'bad' days, it's
all-in-all a GREAT way to raise wonderful kids and citizens. Anything you
were wondering about specifically?
