My kids have been in school their whole life and still know nothing about name brands etc. We only wear hand me downs and occasionally supplement with a second hand store.

The key to keeping them oblivious is that we NEVER have the TV on.

You will be fine!! :)

What a lovely post! Hope your first day of school went well. Mine flew by–I looked up at the classroom clock, and all of a sudden it was time for the kids to go home!

Heather, yes, food, too. Obviously, I feed my kids when we’re home, but packing these individual little servings is time consuming and more expensive. And clothing–so far, my kids have NO IDEA about brand names or current fashions. We’ll see how long it takes for this trend to sweep through their little minds. I hate this part.

e-Mom, thank you!! Yes, the little Mr. Blue Eyes is a show stealer, indeed! It’s a goat though. He loves goats-he knows that’s where his milk comes from (usually. but now it’s too expensive so we’re back to cow).

Miss Jocelyn, thanks! I’ll check your links later…

Renae, thanks for the thoughts and blessings, I’ll need every bit. I’m feeling better right now, must be all my friends praying for me. :-)

Nice! You’re living a great life. (I should try one of these “stream of conciousness” posts sometime.)

Mr. Blue Eyes is a show stealer…is that a wabbit?

Praying for your first day of school tomorrow. :~D

The cost of clothing and food is one of the things that scares me about the very thought of sending our kids off to public school (and with our oldest’s health issues it is not really even possible. :)) But really, it is amazing how expensive being dressed nice daily can get.
