Starting a homeschool swap in your area can be a great way to repurpose curriculum, give to those who will appreciate it, and have fun. It can be a one-time event or you can make it a regular part of your meetings. Organizing a swap is not hard. With a little prep work and some…
I am not a pancake person. Sugar and white flour just don’t do it for me in the mornings. I have avoided this awful breakfast fare due to my hypoglycemia and my concerns that it wasn’t really the best choice to start the day. However, my family does not agree with me. They love pancakes…

Many times when a new-ish homeschooler hears about notebooking they assume it must be some complicated method used by only the most experienced parents and students. The truth is, notebooking is simple….
I stumbled upon this company while searching for safe sunscreen at EWG’s Skin Deep. Their product- Sun Stuff- was one of the highest rated sunscreens by EWG for safety and UV protection.
