Where in the World is Susan in the Boonies?

Pin It The title of my post is meant to be sung to the tune of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"

(At this moment, I'd love to embed a TV promo my husband wrote and produced for 615 Music, called, "Where in the World is Matt Lauer?", but sadly, I'm unable to do that. Still, if you click that link, it should take you straight to the video.)

Virtually, I'm on the road today: the internet highway, that is. A community I follow on Twitter, Hip Homeschool Moms, invited me to guest post today, due to me dillydallying my life away one afternoon on Twitter. When I saw Meghan's tweet that they needed a guest poster this summer, I thought:

"I'm a homeschooling Mom! I have hips! I can do this!!!".

The Evidence: exhibits A...and B...


So...I've done it.

And I sure would appreciate if you'd come and give my opinions on homeschooling (and I have some!) a read. A comment would be even better!

Hip Homeschool Moms is an online community of homeschoolers, who get together to share what they're doing, resources, tips, advice and well, life. So, if you homeschool, you should definitely check out this great resource.

Here's a direct link to my post.

I've never actually met anyone who was homeschooled. Is that weird?

Have a great weekend, my friend. Love from Minnesota!

Dear Pearl,

We kill them off when they reach a certain age...

Robin said...

Loved it. Shared it.

Missus Wookie said...

Dear Susan, What? After investing in all those books and vegetables? I think people don't confess to it myself.

Love the self portrait, not brave enough to do the same tho'! I most definitely have hips... :sigh:

Stephanie (Just Me) said...

What a cutie patootie!

I enjoyed your article! The site is new to me but I'll be back, especially if they keep offering the same caliber of wise, enjoyable and talented writers. :D

Susan in the Boonies said...

Thanks, Robin! You sure did! How did you ever find it?

Susan in the Boonies said...

Missus Wookie: we work what we've got, n'est-ce pas?
And you've got killer boots and a killer hat, do you not?
Work it, girl!

Susan in the Boonies said...

Stephanie: you're too kind. I need chiropractic care, now, after twisting that much!

Karen (KayKay) said...

Perfect article, Susan! Perfect, reality inducing advice. I loved it. That site was totally new to me. Not terribly surprising since, although I have hips, I am decidedly unhip!

SUSAN! Kill them off..... ;)

Elizabeth Grimes said...

Great job! I sent the link to the only person I know who is a homeschooling mom. I'm sure she'll enjoy it as well!

Susan, I'm not familiar with any homeschoolers either, like Pearl (who I also haven't met but I don't think she's homeschooled either, although she learns a lot on her bus rides...) but I will check out your post and leave a laudatory comment only because I like you. I think we would've been friends if we attended the same home school together (am I missing the concept somehow?)

Gary: :-D

Susan in the Boonies said...

Elizabeth: I hope she does!

Susan in the Boonies said...

LG: I went to public school. You would have gotten me in so. much. trouble.

I would have adored you! :-D

Julia (Jmmom) said...

Great job! Love the butt shot ;-)

My favorite thought was thought #2. Sometimes we aren't even aware of how we are teaching superiority and pride...and we need to be aware of it.

Great thoughts! Keep writing...

Susan, check and see if the DMV will let you put that picture on your license. Bam!

Kelley Simpson said...

Susan, I loved the article. I home schooled one girl one year and wished I had done it for all my girls for all years. After reading your post on the picture of your son and the guest post I have to wonder why I live here in Orange County California where I am loosing my 18 yr old to the world and fighting to keep my 16 yr old close. I have a heart of desperation for my 7 yr old. Heavy sigh...
Would be great to share a cup of coffee! Love from the West Coast!
