Diary of a Homeschool Mom – Daily Homeschooling Schedule, Homeschool Curriculum Reviews, Worksheets

Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving Day with family and/or friends.

Hubby had to work today so we are eagerly awaiting his arrival later tonight so we can feast on the bird in the oven! The kids and I have been busy baking pies, making dip and cooking eggs today. My son even helped me stuff the turkey and gave him a yummy butter massage.

If you are like me, Black Friday means sleeping in and enjoying holiday movies with the kiddos. I believe I have only been out TWICE on Black Friday since I have been married, and whoa is it crazy! I much prefer the online sales (and peaceful shopping experience).

Here are a few sales I know of for homeschool books and supplies, it’s a great time to find great discounts for next year.

Happy Thanksgiving!

October is over! Man that was a busy month.

As much as we enjoy baseball, I am relieved the season is over. We need a break. Or should I say, Mama needs a break.

I updated all of the homeschool method pages. Two new methods have also been added:

• Online Learning
• Literature-based

If you have used a program not mentioned, please share!

I am a bit behind answering some questions that have been sent my way. I will be getting to those this week, thanks for understanding.

Also, look out for an exciting giveaway just for my email subscribers!

Stay tuned for complete details.
