Homeschooling

Homeschooling is a big part of our life. Like many homeschooling families, we do things a little differently. Mainly, we don't depend on anyone to do the raising of our children for us. Adam and Eve didn't send little Cain and Abel off to school everyday, and we feel that just like them, we were given our children to raise, teach, and discipline ourselves. Things didn't end so well with Cain and Abel, but  I hope by now we parents have figured out some stuff about raising siblings and teaching them well!

You might be interested in reading our blog, Stay At Home Child. Or perhaps you are looking for some homeschooling bargains. We used Hooked on Phonics for teaching our son to read in kindergarten, and have some of those kits available on our bargain page!

My goal is to help homeschoolers not only with homeschooling curricula or ideas, but also to learn the best way to provide a healthy home. You spend all day in it, make it healthy! See the links in the bar to the left and perhaps you can learn something about healthy living that you didn't already know.
