Home, Not Alone has moved to our new address:
www.home-not-alone.com
Please update your bookmarks! The old address should still forward you here, however.
This site continues to be part of The Mommy Mall, but I moved some of my blogs over to a new host called 1&1 because I have been hearing good things about them. My new host came with a new domain, so I figured this was as good a time as any to give this site its own address.
Please feel free to add your comments and questions. I always look forward to hearing from other homeschoolers.

The FedEx truck delivered our big box from Alpha Omega today! We used their LIFEPAC program for History and Geography this year. We loved it so much that going forward we are going to use LIFEPAC for Science, History, Geography, and Health.
These are a great deal and we took advantage of a sale to stock up for next year.
Of all the curriculum that we use, the LIFEPACs are the most convenient. The lessons are contained in student workbooks and each workbook includes self-tests and exams. The teacher's materials include the answer keys, learning activities, and even a handy lesson planner, and gradebook. The design of this program makes it easy to stay organized.
The best thing about the program is that they make the lessons interesting. My son actually enjoys the lessons, and asked me to use them again for next year!
Homeschooling has been keeping us busy, but it has been great. I really appreciate this opportunity to have more quality time with my teenage son.
He expressed an interest in working with me on The Mommy Mall, so I hired him and gave him a project to create a teen section, called The Teen Cafe'. He is to write regular reviews of music, movies, and books that kids his age would enjoy. He would love to be a writer, so this gives him practical experience. The site is still in development, but I think he is doing a wonderful job.
This has been a rough week, however. Our sweet Baby Kitty went to the bridge on Monday, and our beloved Uncle Hal left us on Tuesday. Cancer took them both from us. We will miss them both desperately.
The lesson here is to live well and enjoy the time we have on Earth.
