Did you ever walk right by something really interesting,&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but miss it altogether?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do this all the time!&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Just ask my poor family)</div>
<p>
<a href="http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/t/laugh-engraved-stone-10931736.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img decoding="async" alt="Laugh engraved on stone Royalty Free Stock Image" border="0" class="bigthumb showonload" src="http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/t/laugh-engraved-stone-10931736.jpg" id="bigthumb10931736" style="height: 104px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; visibility: visible; width: 147px;" /></a>Actually I am quite clueless to my environment. I say this with the confidence that this &#8220;blindness&#8221; helps me have more grace with others. I am able to focus on people&#8217;s hearts and attitudes rather than what they are wearing or what their house looks like.<br />
Yes, that&#8217;s right. You can invite me over to your house when it&#8217;s a mess and I would not see it!</p>
<p>(I will share some of my most embarrassing blind spots below.)</p>
<p>With myself in mind, I would like to give you a slow tour of the right side of this website.</p>
<p>See those little colorful squares to the right of my articles? I have you in mind as I partner with each and very one of those companies. (This is where I would say, wow&#8230; I never saw those before!) Those squares are called &#8220;buttons&#8221;. When you click on them, they take you to a valuable resource.<br />
<a href="http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/t/arrow-lights-sign-26154138.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img decoding="async" alt="Arrow lights sign Royalty Free Stock Photos" border="0" class="bigthumb showonload" src="http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/t/arrow-lights-sign-26154138.jpg" id="bigthumb26154138" style="height: 101px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1; visibility: visible; width: 160px;" /></a><br />
Well, I think they are valuable! That&#8217;s why I chose each one.</p>
<p>We all love sharing resources right?<br />
I am going to do a <i>&#8220;Meet the Sponsor Monday&#8221;</i> Series.</p>
<p>I am really excited to spotlight each merchant and share my favorite products, homeschool resources, or cool facts about them.</p>
<p>While I do have a business relationship with most of them, I think it&#8217;s a good match.</p>
<p><i>I remain committed in my mission to come alongside and encourage and equip new and frustrated homeschoolers.&nbsp;</i><br />
<i>I will only partner with companies that offer stellar products or services that I myself would use.</i></p>
<p>So get ready to meet these amazing companies!<br />
Up first, Melissa and Doug&#8230; I can hardly wait until next Monday!</p>

<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Top 4 list of &#8220;Bekki&#8217;s Embarrassing Blind Spots. (In random order) <a data-pin-config="above" data-pin-do="buttonPin" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fabetterwaytohomeschool.com%2F2013%2F10%2Fyes-i-have-blind-spots.html&amp;media=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-Dam6kMpFfk0%2FUnAk0WNoRWI%2FAAAAAAAAEJ8%2FogQJ4u4AeCs%2Fs1600%2Fphoto.JPG&amp;description=Yes%2C%20I%20have%20Blind%20Spots!"><img decoding="async" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a></b></p>
<p>************************************************************<br />
One of my dearest friends told me once that her husband had shocked her by shaving off his beard. I casually said, &#8220;He had a beard?&#8221; She almost died laughing at me (In love, of course). Our families spent years together. Apparently <u>even she</u> had never seen him without a beard.</p>
<p>*************************************************************<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dam6kMpFfk0/UnAk0WNoRWI/AAAAAAAAEJ8/ogQJ4u4AeCs/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" border="0" height="320" src="https://abetterwaytohomeschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/photo.jpg" width="240" /></a>Once I walked into my mom&#8217;s house to visit. I walked through the entry, passed the huge open living room and into the kitchen. She looked tired and was pouring a glass of iced tea, so I asked her what she was up to that day. She gave me a funny look, grabbed me by the arm and walked me back to the open living room I had just passed. Yep. That&#8217;s right. Christmas tree, piles of lights and about 20 boxes of decorations and village sets All Over the Room. <i>I didn&#8217;t even see them</i>!</p>
<p>*****************************************************************************<br />
Same dear friend as above asked me to run and get something from her van while she watched the kids on the swings. I looked at the parking lot and then back at my friend. I had no idea which one was hers. I could not even remember <i>what color</i> it was! (Yes, she laughed at me again!)</p>
<p>*****************************************************************************<br />
I was giving a new friend directions to my house while sitting in a parking lot. She asked me, &#8220;what color is your house?&#8221; (Big sigh).<br />
Even though I had lived in this home for 4 years, <i>I honestly had no idea</i>!</p>
