Homeschooling, priorities, and favorite gifts!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A few months ago, I was at a children’s play when I realized that a little boy I know from our homeschool group was sitting in front of me. I said, “Hi!” and he wheeled around excitedly to greet me. The first words out of his mouth? <\/span>“Guess what, Ms. Katie? I bought night vision goggles with money I made from my goat!”<\/span><\/i> Then he turned back around in his seat, leaving me to reflect that perhaps there was never such a “homeschooler-y” greeting in all the world. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also got me thinking about homeschool priorities when it comes to what we treasure; the items we value and the gifts we desire most are often a little bit different from what you might call “the norm.” And this comes out in full swing during the holidays!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

During the Christmas season, as our family has given and received many gifts from those in our homeschool fellowship, I have realized that homeschoolers have some unique perspectives on gifts! Of course, kids are always kids, with more commonalities than differences. However, especially this time of year, I see ways that the homeschooled kids in my life stand out in some (honestly, I think) pretty cool ways. So, in case you haven’t guessed it yet, today we’re going to be talking about <\/span>“How to Spot a Homeschooler by Our Favorite Gifts.”<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point isn’t to stereotype but instead to give you a wink across the internet about this weird, wonderful, diverse tribe of which we are all a part. <\/span>For any given topic, I always love to read your comments on ways you can spot one of your own homeschoolers, so please leave a comment!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
