Someone on a homeschool forum just posed the question, "Remind me all the good things about homeschooling!" We're at a really fun place right now, so I came up with a quick list and thought I should share it. :)
---
I love that my kids can beg me at 10pm to do school, and we can sit down and do some, just because we want to. 
I love that I do NOT have to be up at the crack of dawn to shuffle them out the door to another location, and then go get them again a few hours later (we are done with mother's day out, too, for that reason!).
I love that I can work with them to figure out what THEY need, and how best they learn, and find one of the many curricula or resources out there to help them.
I love getting big boxes of books at the start of the school year. 
I love that our school year can start and end whenever we feel like it.
I love that we're *always* learning, and that even my kids know school isn't just when we're sitting around reading or doing bookwork.
I love that they're excited about learning together (my 4.5yo is officially starting K now!).
I love exploring topics with them that they are interested in, and finding ways to increase their love of learning.
Of course, it has its downsides. 
But I'm really happy that, right now, we've got lots of up-sides!
