I was in no way bashing small churches, just using the example for discussion sake...I honestly don't know why this church doesn't do much... in this case...size doesn't matter as long as you're spreading the Word Jane

I'm coming to this post late in the game but I do have a perspective since my husband is actually an employee of what would be considered a "Mega-church" - he works in the human resources dept. This church does a lot of good in the community, that is one reason we were drawn to it. It can be...

Amen to that! Jane

My advice: don't read that blog anymore! I am SO guilty of reading about (and then feeling less than) homeschool families who have seemingly non-stop activity packed days, they bake their own bread, make their own clothes, raise animals, etc...nothing absolutely nothing against that at all -...

My ds, Noah, is 13 Jane

My son was diagnosed with Aspergers at 9- he's now 13. Our public school experience deteriorated in 3rd grade to the point of us having to do "something" Our first thought was private school but found out it was way too expensive and wouldn't have been much different than ps for our son. We...

I would buy everything (I mean everything) online if our budget allowed it- I hate shopping. I always try paperbackswap first before purchasing anything-it's an awesome sight then I try www.addall.com- it searches several book sites for you for the cheapest price...it's not all inclusive so...

I may have to look at it again- it really is a great toolbar for homeschoolers. Jane

I did download this awhile ago but later deleted it. It's a pretty nifty toolbar except I already have a Google and a Swagbucks toolbar and I decided that I was mainly using it for the radio feature and it was just one other thing clogging up my screen. It was nice to have all the homeschool...

craigslist - we've bought and sold over a dozen items since we moved into our house a few months ago

look on vegsource.com -they usually have some TT for sale

I don't know how old your son is but since he took a nap...young? Now just imagine him in ps having that kind of day....aren't you glad he's at home with you? And yes, you will have more bad days...days when you won't feel like doing school, you both won't feel like doing school, etc...but...

I used to feel this way -we are on our 4th year of hs. But now when I'm with my son, for ex. at Walmart, it's amazing how many other kids and parents (not just little ones) are there. Unless it's a school holiday also they're most likely homeschoolers so there a lot of us out there. It's the...
