You’re busy educating your children. It’s hard to filter through all the great homeschooling ideas and resources available online to find the real gems. While there’s no way I can read it all either, I do want to share a few can’t-miss articles with you each week. If you find or write something homeschool-related that you think is hot, please comment or contact me and I’ll consider including it in the next week’s installment. Just click on the orange article titles that interest you and enjoy! You’ll bless the authors if you share them.
