Hello!

As you can see, my name is Shirley. I am a Christian homeschooling mom with two daughters, SarahGrace and Michelle. My husband Philip is in the Navy. Phil has been in the Navy 18 yrs and we have 'officially' homeschooled the girls for 8 of those years. Family Photos


We call our homeschool 'Schroeder Ohana Academy'. We began homeschooling in Hawaii and ohana means family in Hawaiian. We have occasionally needed a letterhead for various reasons so we chose this name to put at the top of our letters. It was by natural progression that it became our e-mail address and then our identity on the WWW.


Being a military family, we move a lot. Moving often has a way of getting us very dis-organized, on a regular basis. So, I decided, in my quest for a little order, to organize myself (with my family's help!) by putting all my favorite mom helpers, and links useful for homemakers, families, homeschoolers and other new website builders in one spot. We are also organizing our families other photos and scrapbooks on line. Putting my links, home school information and poem, prose and humor collection in my virtual notebooks makes it easier for me to access all these great resources AND I can share them with you.


My family are also envolved with a Christian ministry known as the Weigh Down Workshop. We are very excited about it! You can learn more about our participation in WDW, WDW support , e-mail, chats, article and homepages on our WDW NOTEBOOK page.


I believe that the links I have here are the best few for each area or subject and that they are well worth sharing.


As we finish up with our basic outlines of these pages, my family and I will begin to add our own personal homeschooling tips, ideas and articles. We have also built lists of local and national homeschool support groups and WA State homeschool laws and educational resources.

Please use my VIRTUAL NOTEBOOKS in what ever way they may be useful to you.


If you happen to have any links, ideas or articles, that you think I might like to place here, or if you would like me to link to your page, please feel free to e-mail me. You may also want to apply for one of the nifty awards our family offers.


I hope you find these links and other resources both enjoyable and useful. Please remember to sign our Guest Book before you leave so we'll know you've been to visit us.


Have a great day!
~Shirley~
