Homeschool Helps

In case you haven’t discovered this homeschool resource, I thought I’d share it with you here.

Create an account for yourself and you can receive email updates of current specials.  They regularly offer free downloads, as well as other great bargains.  They also offer online classes on a variety of subjects.  I have nothing personal to gain by giving them a plug, and of course I don’t endorse all publications offered, but for those of you who homeschool, it’s always nice to find another resource.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

A Family Milestone

In some ways it seems like it was yesterday, and in other ways it seems like such a long time ago. In 1992 we began our homeschool journey with Julia. Now, 17 years later, we are graduating Lindsey. It has been a wonderful time of learning for all of us, and we wouldn’t trade it for anything. But where has the time gone? Preschool papers are no longer strewn here and there, with wobbly attempts at ABC’s. No more dissections of frogs and cow eyeballs at the end of our dining room table. These memories and many more are forever …

Lindsey’s Quilt

Here is a photo of Lindsey’s quilt – could be a lap quilt or baby quilt.  This was one of her school assignments, given to her by her dear mom.   I really like the colors she chose.  She also took the scraps that were left over and made a quilted handbag.  Hmm, maybe extra credit is in order?
