lots of little ducklings Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Mt Hope Chronicles -- inspiring posts on educating classically + the.best.booklists.ever + stunning photography. curling up with my cozy newborn, a cup of coffee, and Heidi's delightful writing is truly therapeutic for me. :001_smile: Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood -- jam-packed with classical resources, reviews, ideas, and great info for navigating the classical (and specifically CC) world. I'm not a CCer, but this blog is top on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I like our very own Farrar's blog, especially for reading recomendations as our children are similar ages https://farrarwilliams.wordpress.com/ Also a poster here, embassy, has a blog which I've found useful w/r/t curricula--http://eclectic-homeschool.com/2014-2015-curriculum-choices-for-7th-5th-and-1st-grades/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristie in Florida Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I recently purged after trying to keep up with about 100 various blogs. Those homeschooling blogs you listed are the only ones I read now. I'm no help. Oh yeah! Also Simply Convivial by Mystie, here. Hers is the only other one! http://www.simplyconvivial.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Any middle/high school blogs? This is one I just discovered through WTM -- the focus is middle/high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Sorry, can't help you here! My absolute favorite and go-to online source is the WTM Chat Room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystie Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I recently purged after trying to keep up with about 100 various blogs. Those homeschooling blogs you listed are the only ones I read now. I'm no help. Oh yeah! Also Simply Convivial by Mystie, here. Hers is the only other one! http://www.simplyconvivial.com/ Thanks, Kristie! :laugh: I also like Afterthoughts (afterthoughtsblog.net), ladydusk's blog (ladydusk.blogspot.com), and the ones that have already been mentioned. :) I also read FIMBY (http://fimby.tougas.net/), she has all middle & high kids now. They are "freedom"/unschooler and not classical, but she also writes about how family life changes as kids get older and how to give them independence and ownership.

happypamama Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have loved so much of what Elizabeth Foss has said over the years, and I think you can just search for elizabethfoss.com, and it'll come up, but there has been less about the how-to of homeschooling in the past couple of years. However, it's all still there somewhere. I also liked By Sun and Candlelight for a while, very crafty-oriented and inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Mt Hope Chronicles -- inspiring posts on educating classically + the.best.booklists.ever + stunning photography. curling up with my cozy newborn, a cup of coffee, and Heidi's delightful writing is truly therapeutic for me. :001_smile: Thank you ever so much for the kind words. They made my day! I cannot believe I've been blogging for almost 8 years and homeschooling for 9. And now I have a 7th grade son who is just weeks away from his teen years. Gulp. Homeschooling adolescents is a complete different ball game, and some days I feel as if I've lost an inning... Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
