Have you ever wandered onto a web site that, in one brief shining moment, made you want to be a kid again? Imagine a world where LEGO pieces work seemlessly with your kids' own creations.

Lies Homeschooling Moms Believe, by Todd Wilson of Family Man Ministries, is an amazing book that speaks to the heart of every homeschooling mom. From our tendancy to compare our weaknesses with others' strengths to the myth of the perfect "cover" family, this book is filled with heartfelt truths--I can't recommend it highly enough! |

The second awesome organizational tool I've fallen in love with is book racks! They're also called binder racks. Either way, they allow you to stand a line of school books up on your counter or shelf... and then pull one out without causing an avalanche. |
