Too Busy for Busy Bags

 I met with a group of homeschooling moms from my neighborhood last night over a slice of pie and was sharing how I feel like a real underachiever at homeschooling because I am not crafty. 
"You know what your problem is," one of the (very insightful) moms commented "you read too many blogs."  Guilty.  I have fostered my inferiority complex by seeing blog stalking these amazing mothers with highly successful blogs who talk very offhandedly about how they "just whipped up a busy bag for my toddler and then made a homemade felt board complete with an entire doll family and all accessories."

I am busy bag incompetent.  While I am attempting to work with my Kindergartener, I have a 19 month old who (instead of playing with his toys which I was hoping would be perfectly sufficient) emerges from my bedroom with three toothbrushes (none of them his) in his mouth and combing his hair with Daddy's razor.

    Lauren, would love to hear your thoughts on why you opted to homeschool (I know, probably more than it's easy to be concise about). I've got the wonder twins in preschool this year, but am considering homeschooling down the road.

    Oh, thank you, everyone! I think it helps to laugh about this craziness to keep from crying sometimes! : )

    Meg, I will write a post soon about what brought me/twisted my arm (just kidding) to the decision of homeschooling.
