Hey! Your lessons plans are awesome! Thanks for sharing them - they will be a blessings to MANY!!

Thanks for visiting my blog. Enjoyed your comments about socialization - eeekkk!!! Sounds like public school socialization really helped that lady on the golf course, huh?! Zowie!

It always aggravates me that whenever someone who isn't a homeschooler (newspaper, magazine, etc.) writes about homeschoolers - even if it's a fairly possitive article - they ALWAYS have to have someone - some "expert" - from the public schools put in their 2 cents. Really! Just leave them out of homeschool items! I NEVER see any articles about public schools - good or bad - that have a homeschool "expert" give their opinion about public schools. Especially in regards to socialization.

Sheesh! Give me a break!

Blessings, Kim Wolf<><

Yeah, this -40 is too much for me, but it rarely lasts more than a couple of days. You did a lot of work for this post here. Have a great day.Melissa

I too look for links all the time for my friends who don't have time to do it and have put it on my workshop site. Hope you will stop by sometime.
