I have yet to meet a homeschooler that doesn’t like books. Books and homeschooling just go hand-in-hand so I thought an obvious choice for B for The ABCs of Homeschooling would be BOOKS! And I don’t know about you, but I just love a good book list. I love hearing suggestions from other homeschoolers andContinue Reading
