I have written an article I think will be useful to you:
What kind of tools do you need to homeschool?
Just as a carpenter needs tools to do his job, a mom
needs tools to be able to homeschool her children.
The tools don’t have to be fancy, but they do need
to be functional. Not every carpenter prefers the
same tools. Some couldn’t live without a certain tool
where another carpenter never uses that tool to get
the job done.

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.

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 »

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 hope the information at homeschool your child for free will be helpful to you. Feel free to share anything you have found that I have left out. Read more »
