They have printable sheets on just about anything you can think of: Math, Science, Social Studies, Colors, Literary stuff... There are two levels of service, but the free one really does have lots!!

Homeschooling around the world...

I try to teach my kiddos with a global view, so I thought this was neat - just a reminder that the world is bigger than our kitchen, or even than our country. Families are deciding to homeschool all around the world. Their struggles make my grumbling about life on one income seem very whiny!!! Good lesson here, Mom!

Schoolbus - where are you?

Today has been one of those days - I watch the big yellow schoolbusses roll by and want, just for a moment, for them to clear my home out of kiddos!! Then I take a breath, splash some water on my face, drink another Diet Pepsi, look at each of the faces, and realize that they are right where they are supposed to be for right now. This season will be gone before I know it....

Legal help

Thankfully I've never had to use their services, but I like having the safety net of a group of homeschool supporting lawyers who really work for the cause of homeschooling freedoms.

"Home School Legal Defense Association is a nonprofit advocacy organization established to defend and advance the constitutional right of parents to direct the education of their children and to protect family freedoms. Through annual memberships, HSLDA is tens of thousands of families united in service together, providing a strong voice when and where needed."
