I came across a wonderful Science resource called Growing Healthy Homes that I was able to review this last month. The book I received is called Nutrition 101: Choose Life.
If you are looking for a great Science curriculum, wanting to eat more healthy, or just get some good healthy eating information for yourself or your children, this book will do it.
I have been reading about healthy eating for about 20 years. What time and energy it would have saved me to have this kind of resource available to me. There is SO much information in this book, but it is organized in such a way that it doesn’t feel overwhelming at all. I love the recipes and charts, but then I’m a recipe and chart person. The pictures are wonderful too.
Last time I wrote to you about homeschooling your child for free. In order to make that concept work, you have to know a few things about buying and selling used homeschool books.
I have been buying and selling homeschool books and curriculum online for years. Maybe some of you have never done that or have done it on a limited basis. If you want to look at my free guide on the best way to buy and sell books online and at used book sales, you can see all the information at Used Homeschool Books
I hope this guide is understandable for everyone and that I have covered everything that you will need to know. If you have any other questions that I didn’t cover in this guide, then please let me know. Read more »

Some of us in the Homeschool Crew received some Math Mammoth books to review. Since my son is 8 and has a pretty good understanding of his addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts, I chose to review Introduction to Fractions and Early Geometry.
In Ohio we can take the ACT or SAT. It seems that the ACT is more popular, although some students take both tests. I was able to review a program called College Prep Genius. It is a full course developed by a homeschool Mom on how to score well on the SAT.
I just received my latest newsletter from CurrClick and came across a great article entitled “Top 10 Reasons to Teach Phonics.” I thought they made some great points so I wanted to share it with you.
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 »

Recently I was able to review a program that includes keyboarding lessons. The program is called Keyboarding for the Christian School.
This can easily be used for homeschooling too. In this age of computers students need to know how to type. These ebooks reminded me of how I learned to type back in school. The nice thing is that all the practice sections use scripture. I’m sure I never had that in school! Read more »
I thought I would give you a Mystery of History review since it’s one of my favorite History resources. There are 3 volumes that are written by Linda Hobar, a Christian homeschool Mom.
In each volume you will get 36 weeks of lessons organized Read more »

When asked to review the program All About Spelling, I have to admit that I rolled my eyes a bit before I received my packet. My 3 older girls are not good spellers at all! We tried all kinds of Read more »
I had the privilege of reviewing a Financial Accounting Course called Professor in a Box, designed especially for homeschool students. Since one of my daughters is a senior and would like to go into business for herself as an esthetician (spa owner), I thought that this would be a good course for her to take. She absolutely hates math, so this course was met with quite a bit of resistance. She has been slow in getting going with this and is working on the third lesson.
The course consists of 12 chapters broken down into Read more »
America’s Heritage – an adventure in liberty is another great resource to use for homeschooling History and it is free! I received a review copy of this disk and was pleasantly surprised. Although this curriculum/resource is Read more »
I received several books from Bright Ideas Press. Some of them I have seen before and some I had not. You can tell that they work hard at providing quality materials for students.
I had the privilege of receiving a review copy of the Sue Patrick Workbox System for being on the Old Schoolhouse Crew review team. I can’t believe that I have never seen this system before after all these years of homeschooling. What is it you ask?
Roots and Fruits is a comprehensive e-book written by a homeschool Mom who used to be a teacher. She developed Roots and Fruits because she saw a lack in vocabulary knowledge among the students she was working with, even if they read a lot. Read more »
In the past year I came across a program called Aleks (which stands for Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces). Basically it is an online math system where you can enroll your children in a course and let them do all their math work online. The course keeps track of their progress and sends reports to the parent.
I recently signed up for the 30 day trial and thought I would post Read more »
What a novel idea to homeschool your child for free…. In this day and age of layoffs, cutbacks, and downsizing, many families probably think they don’t have the money to homeschool anymore.
I thought it was time for me to address this subject since homeschooling on a shoestring is near and dear to my heart. I have been using these principles for years and love sharing them with others.
I know how hectic things can get around here and how hard it is for me to get a way for even a day. I haven’t been to a homeschool curriculum fair in many years. Part of that is because of time and Read more »
I thought you would enjoy this free homeschool planner that I made up. This is what I use every year to plan out what each child will be doing and what books and resources I need to purchase Read more »
Sometimes it’s fun to look over reviews of homeschool curriculum written by another homeschool Mom. It’s good to research something before you buy it especially if it is going to cost you a lot of money!
If your child is struggling with their math facts, they might benefit from an online math program like
