Just a few weeks ago, our eldest boy got his braces off. This week eldest girl got hers on! I love the photo she edited of new braces.

We were very pleased to get this issue of the Georgia Home Education Association magazine in the mail yesterday.

Each issue they spotlight Georgia homeschoolers. We did a big wow when we found they highlighted our Hodgepodge on the whole page of the inside back cover. Fun! What a beautiful job our GHEA friends did featuring the artwork. We were all smiles around here. Thank you GHEA!

The feature shares Nana’s talents and how she has blessed us, along with a link to her pastel lessons here on Hodgepodge. Hooray Nana! And, speaking of homeschool, I posted Hodgepodge Curricula for 2011-12. That big list I’ve been tweaking all summer.

Another week of summer fun! Hop on over to Camera Phone Friday hosted by Dawn Camp @ My Home Sweet Home and join in the Camera Phone Fun too!

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.

    Wow, what a stellar week for the Hodges!! The feature in GHEA is such a great, but deserved, honor. Nana’s talents and generosity in sharing them and you providing a wonderful venue for that has impacted our lives in such a good way, it is hard to describe. Your summer photo collages are incredible. So much fun, so much love, so much goodness! Wonderful you met Jamie! Eldest girl looks beautiful in braces! I love her photo. She looks so grown-up. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

      Dawn – GHEA put a call out on FB for the spotlight on GA kids so I jotted off an email in response one afternoon. Had no idea it would be such a beautiful feature! We were so tickled.
      Phyllis – you are the sweetest thing! I think that we really decided this was the week to squeeze out all of summer we could. And, yes, eldest girl does look so very grown up *sniff* I sure do love stopping by All Things Beautiful to see what y’all have been up to. Always such fun, love and goodness going on up your way too 🙂

    You know, I don’t know why it never occurred to me that home schooler’s had yearbooks. That is awesome! My little one just turned two so I’m just now thinking about homeschooling. And that is great you were featured in GHEA! …I must learn how to put my photos into a collage 😉
