The best thing you can do for your homeschool is to stay educated and current. There are so many wonderful resources today for homeschoolers that we not only have a great selection, but a lot to be thankful for.
Below is a listing of my favorite subscriptions. I encourage you to subscribe to your favorites whenever possible so that these resources will continue to be available. If you are unable to subscribe perhaps you can encourage your local library or homeschool support group to? You can also stretch your homeschool dollar by sharing a subscription with a friend. If no one subscribes to these publication there is no way they can continue to be available to us, so please consider them as part of your homeschooling budget.
