Homeschooling for 3

Hi everyone. The Old Schoolhouse is a offering this free ebook as a source of encouragement to homeschooling families. Written by a veteran homeschooler it addresses "curriculum confusion", self-doubt and the myriad of other emotions most of us go through each school year. I don't know how long it's going to be available, so you should grab it as soon as possible. Here's the link: The New School Year ( http://www.thehomeschoolmagazine.com/TOSEBookSellSheets/The-New-School-Year/index_TheNewSchoolYear.htm )

So sorry about the late notice, but I was busy working and hadn't checked out my Freebie of the Day * until just now. Anyway, Terri Johnson of Homeschooling ABCS is having giving away the first 5 lessons of the Homeschooling ABCs class . The first lesson will be given away on Monday, August 3rd, so if you're still running ideas through your head about your families' up and coming school year, this would be an excellent opportunity to see what she has to offer. As Terri states on her sign up page for this offer: "Our mission is to encourage and equip you to have the best school year yet!" And that's the reason for this hasty post -- I really believe that we all need to bless each other with whatever resources we can, especially the free ones during this challenging economy. I seem to be moving into the reviewing mode, so if you miss the deadline, never fear! I will be sure to share my take on Terri's teaching methods, ideas and even which type o...

You know, we moms are a resourceful bunch. As I'm doing research for my website , I keep running into more and more women who are changing the face of mompreneurs everywhere. With the advent of Twitter, Facebook and other forms of social media we are breaking new ground and inspiring other moms to use their natural assets to help bring money into the house while taking care of our families. Yeah! One of these "mom-driven" resources is a search engine called Mamapedia. It's made for moms created by moms. It was created two years ago as a compilation of parenting questions that they gleaned from local and online Mamasources . These intrepid women indexed their questions and made the answers available in the form of a search engine. And best of all, a free Mamapedia membership allows you to not only post your most puzzling parenting questions, but to respond to other moms' questions as well! I think this is a great feature because the question database will only ...

Many articles about Goal setting and Visualization stress the importance of keeping your thoughts as positive as possible and to balance up your negative thoughts with positive ones. You know, in today's society a lot of people tend to choose a negative view on things and look for reasons why something wouldn't work. However, keeping your own thoughts and feelings positive amongst this negativity is crucial when you are on a journey to achieve your big goals and dreams. It is these positive feelings of gratitude and anticipating of your dream life that assist you in attracting this dream life to your reality. As you will always have negative/disempowering thoughts now and then, it is important to consciously work on creating positive thoughts as well by using positive visualization, creating a gratitude journal, creating a solid plan of action, etc. A similar principle could be applied to the people around you. Some people can be real "dream stealers" (I am sure you h...

I've just signed my daughter up for Kidzui and she absolutely loves it. A few months ago I saw an advertisement for it on the internet and took a look. At the time there was a mandatory membership fee, and being a parent I like to see the number zero immediately following the dollar sign. So, I bookmarked it, but didn't go any further with it. Well today I got notification that the basic membership is free with the ability to upgrade if we want to later on. So, Jade and I signed up and she's been busy ever since. I love their signup process --- you create an avatar, clothe them and then pick the name. You have full creative license with the avatar since they give you the complete color palette to create realistic (or alien) coloration for your avatar. So, if you have young ones that you want to protect from the internet predators and other sickos that lurk about, you should definitely consider Kidzui. The websites and content were chosen and moderated by a panel of tea...
