Sharing the Love

Wow, what a busy weekend I've had. I had grand plans of posting Friday and Saturday but that didn't happen. Have you ever had one of those weekends where you think you're on top of everything them you suddenly realize you're behind on most things? That was me. Plus I got the lovely 24 hour intestinal virus that has been working through the kids. Yeah. Good times. But I didn't want to let one more day pass without sharing these great sites with you!

My Favorite Homeschool Communities:

The Homeschool Classroom : This site has an amazing group of experienced homeschool moms who bring you wonderful advice on any homeschool topic imaginable Monday through Thursday. Every Friday they offer link lists that highlight other homeschooling blogs - it's a great way to find fellow homeschoolers!

The Homeschool Village : This is a relatively new homeschool community. Every week it has a different theme that will appeal to homeschoolers. On Wednesdays a panel of homeschooling moms share their expertise and Thursdays there is a theme-related link-up. There are also fantastic guest posts to enjoy.

*Yes, I write for both these sites. I don't love them because I write for them, I write for them because I love them.

My Favorite Food & Home Sites:

Feels Like Home - Have you met Tara yet? If not, you're missing out! She shares great household tips, fabulous recipes, family fun and product reviews. Have you seen her post about watermelon jam? Yum! She also shares mega link lists under "Things to Write Home About".

Home-Ec 101 - I had the pleasure of meeting Heather at Blissdom in February, she was a delight and so is her site. It is practically an encyclopedia of all things homemaking (and fixing). She has a weekly chore schedule (which I follow and love!) plus recipes and how-to's.

Favorite New Read:

Given Much - I try to visit everyone who comments on my blog. Chantelle commented, I clicked over to her blog and I. Fell. In. Love. I want her family. She is the mom of 5 internationally adopted children, a beautiful little melting pot, and takes amazing photos. Their life is not without challenges, but I adore her outlook, she says: "I'm married to a brilliant man, w/ 5 internationally adopted kidlets. We've got issues ranging from ADD to HIV, but that's AOK cause we've got G-O-D."
