Hello to all the new folks visiting us today from My Home in the Smokies while we’re sponsoring the giveaway on the Hip Homeschool Hop! We hope you’ll take a look around while you’re here, especially if you have boys. Check out our new book, Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching and Appreciating Boys for real, practical help from the parents of six boys in a row. You can read a sample chapter first, too.  We’ve also got workshops CDs  on topics from bulk cooking to marriage with lots about homeschooling. And don’t miss the resources for boys, including our new Hero Tales from American History audios.

We’re so glad you’re here! I hope our site is a blessing to you —
Hal & Melanie
