This is a really cool idea, and I’ve mentioned it before here; it’s called Bookswim. It’s touted as a “Netflix” for book lovers– it’s a rental library lending program. You pay a flat fee once a month, create a queue of books you want to read, and the books are sent directly to your home. [...]

This is an older story I rediscovered while sifting through old bookmarks. It made me laugh all over again! It makes the Grammar Marm in me shudder, but hey– I guess bad grammar has some eternal purpose, too. The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a methamphetamine [...]

I’m finally going to begin what I’ve promised I’d begin– a series of posts about our homeschooling routine and our resources. The hardest thing about homeschooling is getting started. I know a lot of young moms and dads are completely baffled about how to begin, and the thought of educating their children is terrifying. But [...]

Why Do People Hate Homeschooling?

Just a little rant after a hot and humid day… we “homeschool” our four kids (I put homeschool in quotes because it is more like an umbrella school; the kids learn at home and are tested every week in a group setting with other kids in the organization). My husband works at a job along [...]

Homeschooling: Organization is KEY

I am by nature an extremely organized person. This can be good and bad. It’s good when I have assignments or goals. It’s bad when I’m working with less organized people, lol. Lots of sparks fly from time to time. Honestly, I don’t know how “unorganized” people homeschool. I’d go to bed every night in terror, [...]
