I also want to include articles and research people have done that point toward homeschool being a good thing, so here are two I have read recently:

An article about Freedom and Creativity and how the two are linked.
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/freedom-learn/201209/children-s-freedom-has-declined-so-has-their-creativity

and

An article about waiting to start formal mathematics (even until 7th grad)
www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/sanjoy/benezet/1.html

Sudbury Valley School page of Articles talking about their model of school, which hinges on play.

Okay, here it goes. I'm starting this blog mainly for myself. I need a place to keep track of what activities we do for our homeschool, so that is my main concern with this blog. I can then look back throughout the year and see what we have done or have not done. It's an exciting journey, teaching my children (and along the way I think I might learn a thing or two), and I am excited for the fun things we will do.
