The Book Shack – Guest Post regarding the Sooner Angels Homeschool Curricuum Ko-Op
Once upon a time, there was a magic place called The Book Samaritan. For nearly seventeen years, the fairy godmothers provided families in need with books, curriculum, and supplies so that they could homeschool their children, even if funding was tight. As time passed, the kingdom became a darker place. Trolls hid beneath the rocks and tried to disguise themselves as villagers in need. The fairy godmothers began to lose steam. They had families, who also needed their help, at ... read more

Wrapping Up Summer Reading
Well, summer is coming to an end. Planning for school years and getting ready for a "normal" daily routine is about to relaunch. And, I STILL have a pile of books on my nightstand that I was going to get through over the summer. Funny how time flies and the best intentions are lost in the dust. So what is on your nightstand? As I'm wrapping up my summer reading and figuring out my reading goals for the rest of the year, I'm here to say that I have to pare down my reading list to a doable ... read more

And when I say they can, they say "Well, I certainly couldn't do math." Typically, my answer is "neither do I!" LOL With the wonderful resources available to homeschool parents and student these ... read more
