Homeschooling Websites To Kick Off The New School Year

Kicking off the new school year with some of my favorite homeschool websites!!!

Some are oldies but goodies and some are ones you may have never seen before. Come get encouraged about the new year! These are in no certain order, just some different sites that I really enjoy and get a lot of help from. I also have these listed in a SAFE folder for the Homeschooled Young Man. So when he has his computer time he can click on any of these sites and freely peruse them. Please let me know if any of the links are bad and I will see about fixing them.
Happy schooling!

LOVE this site! I entered in an entire year of spelling words and each week he uses this site to learn them. There is a ‘teach’, ‘play’ and ‘test’ area. He loves this site.

It's so humbling to see that there really are people reading my little old blog!

I am so thankful for those that contact me through my blog, those lost in the throws of starting gluten free eating or starting homeschooling. It's been such a blessing to be able to share with my readers the trek that I have been making.

The homeschooled young man is enjoying a nice following on his blog. He is learning that you must carve out time to work a blog and that content does not always come easily.

2015 Time For A Change

Mixing things up on the Adoptive Mom Homeschooling An Only Child blog. Let me know what you think. I am trying a few different looks to see what goes over well.

Things have been crazy around here, my husband was injured at work and has been recovering at home. We have had some fun eating out of the pantry to save on groceries.

Learn to eat from your pantry to save post coming soon!

Homeschooling updates and some other goodies coming your way in the new year! What is working in your homeschool? What are you tossing out? Changing things up this semester?

I also have a prayer request for one of readers, Deb, she is also homeschooling an only child...who is going off to college this year!! YEAH!! Please pray for her family as her Dad passed away this week.

How is your New Year going? I am praising the Lord for the wonderful sunshine that He is giving us this winter. It's wonderful to sit in my sunroom and work on my blog.

We are going to change the look of things from the dreary winter blog look to a fresh new look.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks,
Moe
