2012 was marked by both tragedy and triumph for our family. Perhaps one of the biggest personal highlights came with the launching of The Unlikely Homeschool...the written chronology of this homeschooling journey that God has called us to.
I've been so humbled to see how God has used this tiny little spot of mine to cultivate my love for the written word, my passion for education, and my commitment to encouraging other homeschool moms. Thanks in part to you, who have followed along with the highs and lows of our academic days and my frail attempts at teaching what is GOOD not just what is good enough, The Unlikely Homeschool was awarded the title of Best New Homeschool Blog of 2012 by the Homeschool Post!
Here's a brief look at some of what we enjoyed together!...the TOP 10 most read posts of 2012.
