Just so you know

I did it again. Started another blog.

Educating Magpies: Life Without School is my new blog home for all things home schooling related. It’s still bare bones, but I have a few posts up – my most recent about bad attitudes and perfection – I hope you check it out if you are interested in following our home school journey.

Paper Bridges will continue to be my book blog for reviews, giveaways and commentary from a Christian reader’s perspective.

Thanks! See you here or over at Educating Magpies.

This looks like well worth the effort. *sigh* Perhaps someday – like before the kids go off to college – we’ll actually attend. Busy. Busy. Busy. Ho. Ho. Humbug.

The home schooled teen: not what you think

I’m two years away from having an official “teenager,” and I must tell you, I can’t wait for those years. This is an article aimed at the home schooled teen, learning during those so-called high school years, especially for the young adult planning to attend university.
