____ Great Places to Get Books _____

- Local Library - I realize this isn't an option for everyone, but I heavily utilize our library. If they don't have books you want, especially if they are newer, request them! Libraries want to fill their shelves with books their patrons want to read and are normally happy to fulfill book requests. If they don't have a book and it's too old for them to get, they can often get books via interlibrary loan as well.

- Libby App - The Libby app is a great way to have access to free audio books as well as e-books. You can use a library card from anywhere (some places will give you library cards online reguardless of where you live), and access thousands of audio books and e-books to check out for free.

I’m Laura, homeschooling mom to three. I’m excited to share our child led, literature based, unit study approach to homeschooling. No two homeschools look the same. My hope is that by sharing my journey, I can offer support, encouragement, and inspiration to help you think outside the box to create a dynamic homeschool experience tailored to your family.

I used Math on the Level for my daughter in middle school - it was one of the only things that really worked well for us. Last year was her 9th grade year and we moved into Dennison Algebra . . . It was a dream! The best we could have asked for. She is finishing it up this week and is so proud to have an A. Mr Dennison knows what he's doing!

Glad to hear about the Timberdoodle Aviation Course. My daughter is probably going to do it this year.

What cool classes you’ve picked! I’d totally take your class! I wish I had cool options like these when I was in 8th grade. That aviation course looks so fun! I’m definitely looking into that g suite for my kids. You’re right, that’s exactly what the schools are using. I think in homeschool land technology tends to get overlooked and almost rejected as “screen time” 🚫, but it’s so important! At least in my opinion. Great picks mama!

I would love to know where to find the mechanics course please 😊

Okay for Now is excellent—we loved it even more than Wednesday Wars, if that were possible! I cried so many times.

Hi Laura! Any estimate on when the Light Comes to Shadow Mountain unit study will be available to purchase? Hoping to use it as our summer unit study. It looks so good!
