Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
Math doesn’t have to be boring, much less impossible! As homeschool parents, we have the freedom to find ways to make math problems enjoyable and help our kids build a strong foundation in math.

But the garden can provide more than just food for homeschooling families. It can also provide a great way…
Do you have difficulty believing you can make math fun with math games? I know, right?!! I was right there, too, when I first started homeschooling. Confession time: I hated math when I was in school, and I was afraid to even teach it (even the lower levels of math)! So, I was always on…
