Are you searching for extracurricular opportunities for your homeschool? Would you like to let them try a new hobby for free, before investing a lot of money in something they won’t end up loving? How about trying some of these great FREE classes —-> online!

Craftsy.com is an amazing site with classes, tutorials, and craft supplies for every hobby imaginable. Each class includes video segments, printables, complete supply lists, and the option to communicate with other class members or instructors. Check out the FORTY-SEVEN different free classes, in these categories:

 

A great free course on doing family portraits is available.

Two classes, including portrait drawing and figure drawing are available here.

Check out four different classes on food and cooking, including Perfect Pizza at Home!

If you don’t have local access to all the lessons your kids want, the internet is here to save the day! Craftsy is available on computer as well as apps for your smart phone or tablet. If you’re modern like us (thanks to my hubby!) you can mirror your phone or tablet screen onto your TV, and watch the class videos on the big screen!

    Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?

    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask! http://www.yahoo.net

      I use WordPress, and it’s the only platform I’ve used besides Blogger. There’s a learning curve, but I’ve been able to figure out a lot, and find help on the web. Good luck!

Our culture has become saturated in all forms of rebellion against God, not the least of which is the LGBT movement. No matter how you raise your children, they will be exposed. Children’s toys, cookies, candy, cereal, clothing lines, and cartoons have all become mouthpieces for sexual perversion. You would literally have to live in a bubble to keep your children from it, especially in June. We settle in for a comfortable 1  1/2 to 2 hours of reading to begin our school day. (See my previous post.) Sometimes it’s at 9:00, sometimes it’s as late as 11:00. Snacks are allowed (see the iced coffees?) because food makes kids happy. And I let them do a variety of quiet activities while I read. On this day, they chose mazes and intricate coloring. Oklahoma! Summer learning. https://www.instagram.com/p/CsbPJAwLQNd/ I spend all day with my kids. But I’m not a super mom or gifted with infinite patience. I don’t have it all together. I usually don’t even have some of it together. Here’s our morning routine right now: When our society moved children away from the home and into the schools, they had to recreate much of home life in an artificial fashion. April 1, 1853:
