This Week’s Carnival of Homeschooling

I don’t always find time to promote the Carnival of Homeschooling as I should. It’s such a great resource for both new and veteran homeschooling parents. Every post gives you a peek into the world of homeschooling. You learn about the enormous variety of ways that parents are educating their children.

This week’s edition of the carnival is no exception. As a bonus, it’s very pretty, thanks to the artwork of Swedish artist Carl Larsson, whose work I adore because his favorite subjects were his family and his beautiful Swedish home (yes, I’m part Swedish). Visit the carnival and you’ll see what I mean!

This week’s Carnival of Homeschooling celebrates its 5th anniversary, and is hosted by the Cate family, who originated it. It’s one of the longest running blog carnivals out there. Its theme is the movie “Princess Bride,” which is beloved by many homeschoolers, including a few that used to live in our house

You won’t believe how many great posts there are at this anniversary carnival…….see for yourself!

Another cold January weekend….the perfect time to stay home where it’s nice and warm and spend some time visiting this week’s Carnival of Homeschooling.

We can learn so much from others on this homeschooling journey. The carnival makes it easy to check in with a variety of bloggers and get their take on all sorts of homeschool-related topics. It’s a great way to relax and learn at the same time. See you there!

Happy 4th Anniversary to the Carnival of Homeschooling

Back in the day, when I was a wannabe homeschooler, there weren’t many places to go to learn about homeschooling. I received a lovely little newsletter from the Moores that I devoured as soon as it arrived in my mailbox. I got the name of a homeschooling parent several towns away, called her, and soaked up her advice with gratitude. But that was about all the encouragement I could find.

Who could have imagined back in 1984, when I first learned about homeschooling, that someday there would be this thing called the Internet, where you could find more homeschool encouragement than you could ever absorb?

Of course, with so much available about homeschooling, it can sometimes be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. That’s why people like the Cates are so cool. The Cates began the official Carnival of Homeschooling, where each week you can read an assortment of posts related to homeschooling. It’s the best place I know to find bloggers you’ll want to visit again and again.

The Carnival takes a lot of work, and none of those involved get paid for it. I think it’s a labor of love. We bloggers love this lifestyle, and what it does for our kids, and we want to share that good news with anyone who’s interested in learning about it. That goes double for those who organize the posts into each week’s carnival.

This week is the carnival’s fourth anniversary. Wow…..210 weeks’ worth of informative blog posts, laid out in clever themes for your enjoyment. And you can still check any of them out, if you wish, right here.

Many thanks to the Cates, and to all the others who have hosted or will host the Carnival of Homeschooling. You do a great service to parents everywhere.
