No-Sweat Homeschooling

The decision to home school your kids is one you'll never regret, though the path can often be confusing and frustrating. I fully believe that homeschooling should be as much fun for you as it is for your children. After all, you'll be spending many hours each week together learning new things, so why make it monotonous, stressful, or boring? Instead, with a bit of ingenuity you can turn even the smallest everyday task into a learning opportunity that sticks with your children for life. This is what No Sweat Home Schooling is all about. I'll cover whole curriculum subjects, frugal field trips, record keeping, fun activities, stress and mess busters and more. I also include a lot of quality online resources. I look forward to sharing my experiences and ideas with you!
