Naming Our Homeschool

So about a week ago we had a family meeting (Princessa over the phone since she was still at Grandma's). Our topic?....to rename our homeschool. The reason? I lost the document where I worked on ID cards for the kids (my pc crashed and we lost a few years of things thankfully I had backed up all my pictures a few days before). The old name was something like Hagan Prepatory Academy or something we couldn't really remember. After going through about 5 or 6 different ones the most outragous would have to have been The Athena Academy for Muses...that lasted a whole 20 minutes until we said it bunch! We finally narrowed it down to 2 and voted, School of God's Grace or God's Grace Academy. School of God's Grace won at a landslide of 4 to 1. (me being the one).
ID cards are made and laminated, wall hangings decorate our upstairs hallway, we are in the middle of re-arranging the furniture to make room for 2 new HUGE Homeschool bookshelves and a piano. Classic books have been purchased (thank you Target bargin bins paid $1 a book for like 30 great books).
I have a homeschool workshop and a conference for the next 2 weekends, I'm not hyperventilating (yet). I feel calm, cool and almost collected! I have done research and put together a Unit Study resource page with over 20 links to unit study materials and ideas most of them are free. My husband is really awesome and has planned a BIG date night Friday since we are headed out of town for the night for the first workshop.
We just got a free trial for the next 30 days at Time4Learning.com as long as I review so I think that will be great....this is a brand new blog so far and this being my first post I'll spend my next couple weeks reviewing Time4Learning.com through myself and the 3 kids' point of view and getting ready to start school in the next few weeks!
I'm excited!
