Recently I was able to view the new weE-book Simplifying Classical Education from The Old Schoolhouse. Although I have written ebooks, I’m new to this whole concept of weE-books. They certainly are little books, but as a homeschool Mom I don’t have much time to read. Sometimes a little book on a certain topic I am interested in is all I can handle.

I have been interested in Classical Education for some time Read more »

If you’re planning on doing a science fair project or just want to do a science project each week, then this is the site for you.

They have Science fair ideas, Science news, resources and teacher resources.  There is a step by step guide on how to do a Science fair project along with all the resources you might need to find and produce a Science fair project.

Summer is almost here and life is changing a little in our house as Dad is off for the summer. This prompted me to think about what we are going to do this summer.
