Even though we had a few precocious readers, we're not big fans of the "Homeschooling From The Cradle To Create Super-Genius Kids" idea. Children need time to be, well, children. Don't push them into formal schooling too early! One great big exception, though, is talking to your children about God, Jesus, and the Bible --…

Timberdoodle is one of our favorite companies and has been for years. There are just a few catalogs which we receive and say, "I'd like one of everything in here." Timberdoodle is one of them. Owners Dan and Deb Deffinbaugh would like one of you to have Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes. No, it's not…

Catherine Jaime is a veteran homeschooler and writer, and she sent us a copy of an interesting little history for review. In York Proceeded On, you re-live the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition as seen through the eyes of York, the slave of William Clark. Too often the history of slaves is left untold because records…
