Choosing A Curriculum
So you've decided to homeschool. That's great, the decision has been made. Now, where do you get the "books"? The homeschool market is flooded with choices of books and materials that all claim to produce excellent results. Making a decision can be difficult and confusing. Will you use a pre-packaged curriculum? Make your own? Use workbooks only? Life experiences? The beauty of homeschooling is that it can be tailored to fit your unique family, concentrating on the needs and interests of each individual child. No one person or group can claim to be doing it the "right" way because "right" for one child may not be "right" for another. As you receive new insights about your children and as your children mature, your choices may change.

Homeschool Organization
Homeschool organization is a constant challenge. Like most households, homeschoolers deal with the everyday accumulation of laundry, dishes, toys, trash, and mail.
