Hello everyone. I'm a homeschooling Mom to 6 children in Canada. I have a dd15, dd12, ds9, ds5, ds3, ds(11mo), and another blessing due in December. I became interested in Doman/early-learning 3 babies ago, did some flashcards and French picture books with him for a few months (he was just under 2 years old I think), but then it stopped after a while (I think because ds3 was born). Ds3 got some infant stimulation cards and a some big words for a few weeks (as an infant), but I wasn't feeling too energetic and we started 'school' again with the older ones when he was 1 month old. Ds(11mo) didn't get any of that, I think because for the first time I had more young ones closer in age. Now most of you are enjoying your 1st or 2nd child and can't imagine how someone expecting their 7th could possibly get everything done. Well, it does work; I do manage somehow. Schoolwork gets done, the house is pretty tidy/clean, and food gets put on the table. I still have time to play and read and enjoy my children. I guess one thing I've gotten better at is organization and planning. But honestly, as much as I yearn to give my little ones the gift of early learning, I don't know how or if I can do it. Please someone out there, convince me that it doesn't take an extraordinary amount of time. Does anyone else have a large family? I wish I could afford LR right now... it looks like it could save me a lot of time and make it more manageable to accomplish... but I can't so I was just really excited to find all the free printable/downloadable materials that this site has. I'm trying to find more information about how the loyalty points works... what ways can you earn them and what can you use them for? Well, I'm hoping to find encouragement and advice from this forum so my little ones can get the best start in life (and make homeschooling them easier later on!)
