Mailbox Surprise
Look what I found in my mailbox today: This is one of my absolute favorite homeschool resources. Bigger than a major city’s telephone book, the 1,358 pages are filled with detailed descriptions and reviews of thousands of products for your school. I refer back to this book all through the year. I take my colored pens and mark things of interest, folding the page corners as I go for quick reference. I use the order … Continue reading
Summer Projects
Summer has come along like gangbusters with its soaring temperatures and longer hours of daylight. A perfect time for us to tackle some projects that have been calling out to be done for months.

I would rather deal with a ton of spiders than creepy, crawly ants. This morning we were very confident that we would be able to beat the … Continue reading

If you’d like to learn a bit more about these critters, this site gives a basic run down.

I am having so much fun setting up Splish’s Scavenger Hunt for The Old Schoolhouse Store. Last week over 500 folks followed through with all the clues to get their prize. I would love it if we exceeded that number this week. We have such generous vendors at the Schoolhouse Store who bless homeschoolers all the time. Most of these folks are small, family businesses who have a heart for the homeschooler. If you missed … Continue reading
