I did a search to see if this was mentioned on here in the past, but it doesn't appear to have ever been posted. The Homeschool Lounge is a fairly new site for homeschool moms and it is like a social networking/ aka "myspace" type of a set up. There are discussions and individual pages etc. You can link your blog to it etc. There are groups for everything from Natural/Attachment parenting to groups for each of the states. There is tons of information being shared here and though it does have some quirks like every site, I have found it to be a good source of homeschool information. You have to be signed up and approved to join before you can really view the site. Take a look! (I am not in any way affiliated with this site, other than being a member!)
Thank you so much! I'll be checking it out for sure. With this being our first year, I'm not one to pass up potential help, ideas, and tips.
Cool! Thanks. I just filled out my registration. Another thing to get addicted too :lol: We're still pretty new so like Amie I love to glean info from HS "vets". Rhonda C.
Hey Spinning, I thought I saw you there today. I just got approved but things are crazy around here today so I doubt I'll get setup, etc for a bit. Nice to see familiar folks on there. As KrisRV said, I love the Spot too so I'm probably biased towards it BUT I like to meet folks so hopefully I can figure out how to do it all :lol: (and still educate the kidlets, of course....can't stay online all the time).
