considering homeschooling?

When I get interested in something, I read everything I can get my hands on to learn about it. When we decided to homeschool about a year ago, I spent spring and summer reading as much as I could--books, Web sites, magazines, etc. I wanted to pass along some of my favorite homeschool resources.

Books (get the most recent edition):

• The Ultimate Guide to Homeschooling by Debra Bell
• 100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum by Cathy Duffy
• The Well-Trained Mind by Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Wise

Helpful Sites and Blogs:

• Home School Legal Defense Association
• Donna Young
• A Holy Experience
• The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
• Heart of the Matter
• Harmony Art Mom

Favorite Curriculum Suppliers:

• Homeschool Classifieds
• Rainbow Resource
• Amazon

I also order directly from the company if needed.

My favorite tip is to place holds from home on library books you want. You can do this for books the library owns or on ILL books. When they are ready, the library will call! This has saved me SO much time!!
