Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Hi Everyone, I'm new to this list and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Connie Bendickson and I am a vegan mother of two children ages 6 & 3. We live in the Minneapolis area. I homeschool part-time and I am the founder of Healthy Moms, Healthy Families which is a ministry dedicated to inspiring healthy eating habits for families and God's world. I recently published my first book titled " The Healthy Moms Healthy Families Handbook " . There is more information about me and my book on my website: www.healthymomshealthyfamilies.com The first section of the book is " Why Bother " and the rest is practical information about " How " to make the transition to a plant-based diet. The recipes are all favorites of our family and the book is written from a Christian perspective. It's great to find a community of like-minded people! Sincerely, Connie Bendickson www.HealthyMomsHealthyFamilies.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Hi Connie, Welcome aboard! We're thinking about homeschooling, but I have not heard of " part-time homeschooling " . How does that work? Bonnie <>< - " Connie Bendickson " <c.bendickson Friday, July 25, 2003 12:12 PM Healthy Moms! <I'm new to this list and wanted to introduce myself.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hi Bonnie, I was not planning to homeschool, until I fell in love with a program at a local church. It's a part-time Christian, Montessori, " school " - technically it's not a school because all the students are registered as homeschool students. The kids go Mon, Tues, Wed from 9-2, have most of Dec and all of Jan off and we're done the first week in May. It's 50% school, 50% homeschool. The kids wear uniforms and we serve all healthy organic snacks! The founder of the school bases most of the curriculum on the book The Well Trained Mind - which is a classical educational approach. I feel like we have the best of both worlds - more time at home with our kids and yet a fabulous environment to be with other children. My daughter will be in 1st grade this year...so I'm excited to really dig into the homeschooling this year - Kindgergarten was a little more laid back.
