Thanks Ladies for all the wonderful replies. I live in Lakeland (Central Florida area). My 4 kids are ages 16(in April), 13, 11, 10. My 11 year old is a girl the rest boys.

For all the Ohio Ladies, my husband is from Ohio and we still have family there as well. As for curriculum, my high schooler uses Penn Foster, and my others we are eclectic and do unschooling too.

I just quiet my full-time job so I can continue to homeschool and spend more time with my famiy. I am getting ready to start my own Home Decor business and I started with a home party company called Pink Zebra which will allow us some extra money..

How long have others been homeschooling and what curriculums to you all use?

Thanks,

Jill Moorehead

Hi PinkZebraDiva,

I am in Florida too!  Most home school groups register with their State Home School Association.  The Florida Parent Educators Association provides you access to family groups near you for free at this link: http://www.fpea.com/find-your-district/

They also provide an annual convention which is awesome.  At the Convention, you can attend workshops, purchase curriculum at a discount, network, and it is fun too. Be sure to check out the curriculum created by home school families.    Here is the link about this years  Convention:  http://fpeaevents.com/ also this link: http://fpeaevents.com/events/223/05-24-2012/2012-fpea-florida-homeschool-convention/speakers (there will be far more workshops available soon.
