Many homeschool families turn to online
auctions to purchase the homeschool supplies that they need at prices
that they can afford. Ebay's recent decision to ban the sales of
all teacher's editions has caused a lot of ruckus. A homeschool-oriented alternative has been established. HomeschoolBuy.com is the new brainchild of Paul and Gena Suarez. Need a place to sell your used curriculum now that e-bay has a ban on teacher's editions? Then check out this N*E*W auction website What makes HomeschoolBuy.com so great? It's Your Family Friendly Internet Auction Alternative Once you shop HomeschoolBuy.com you won't miss e-bay! It's designed to sell just as well as e-bay but much easier for the seller. Listings are FREE!! You pay nothing until your item has sold. |

Finally settled ...
Posted in Miscellany

I believe I can finally say that we have
settled into our new home. My office is still full of boxes, but
the rest of the house is in fine shape. My husband's new store
finally opened last week and has been doing very well. We are thrilled by our new community and the surrounding countryside. We live on the edge of a nature preserve along the river. A few minutes outside of town are state and county parks that exhibit the beauty of northern Wisconsin. We have seen all manner of animals and birds here, though we are still holding out for the first sightings of bear or wolves. Most of our schooling centers around God's creation as it's basis and stems from there in many and varied directions. Living in a beautiful section of that creation makes "school" as natural to us as breathing. |

Our project for today ...
Posted in Miscellany
|
My friend Janne posted the story on her blog
of a soldier who returned home, injured, and received a card telling
him to die. I cannot express my anger and disgust at this cruel
act! FoxNews.com carried the story at this link on December 5th. Our school project this afternoon is to make get well cards for Joshua Sparling. PFC Sparling? We thank you for your service! |

Introduction ...
Posted in Miscellany
|
We
are the deMoose family living in rural Wisconsin. Dad, Mom and
five children have homeschooled for 11 years using an unschooling /
delight-directed model. I make a habit of evaluating our progress on a regular basis and seeking out the tools that will best fit our family's educational needs at the time. What results is a happy hodgepodge of methods. To some it appears scatter-brained, but it works very well for us. Please join us in this journey! Mom deMoose |
