Free online magazine for home educating families to exchange information, to give advice and swap learning ideas, to recommend fun days out and healthy recipes and to input their comments on all aspects of home school life and education. I found a great idea for studying bugs on the Great Outdoors page under Home School On A Budget.

Their mission is simply to help homeschoolers find all the resources they need to succeed in their homeschool endeavors!

All of their crafts for kids are made with inexpensive materials, and are clearly explained with easy to follow directions and pictures. Most importantly they are fun crafts to make!

I read the Encouragement section to keep on track!
