Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.

Cartoonist Charles Schulz once quipped: “Try not to have a good time. This is supposed to be educational.” We laugh, but there’s truth in what he said, isn’t there? We tend to segment what’s compulsory from what’s enjoyable, promising “We’ll do something fun as soon as you finish your school work.” Without even realizing it,…
