    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.

    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).

    I'm on there, too, but rarely go there. There's too much to wade through!
