We moved away from our lifelong home of Illinois last year, and now live in a much less populated area of NE Wisconsin. As a result, for the first time in many years, I’m not involved in a homeschool support group.
I do have a few homeschooling friends from the past that I keep in touch with, and of course I love to hear from my readers anytime 🙂 But it’s kind of lonesome being without an actual support group.
However, the good news is that I recently found an online community of wonderful homeschool moms.
They gather at a place called The Homeschool Lounge. I joined the group at the beginning of October, and since then I’ve been meeting some really cool people. I love that there’s such a mix of new and experienced homeschooling moms, and that they are all so nice. BTW, The Homeschool Lounge just opened up in February, and already has over 5,000 members.
The Homeschool Lounge has lots of discussion forums, chats and places where you can get your daily dose of “socialization,” if you’ll pardon the term 😉 Check it out. If you decide to sign up, come by my nook and say hi…..we can be Lounge Sisters!
Wow, I didn’t realize it was that new! Just added you as a lounge sister! 🙂
I’m over on THL too! I’ve really only looked around a bit and have neglected my nook but I’ll try to find you!
So you moved to Door County, huh? I grew up in Racine, WI and my family vacationed in Door County last summer. It was the first time I’d been there and we really enjoyed it! We stayed in a gorgeous B&B in Sturgeon Bay and enjoyed a fish boil in Egg Harbor.
Thanks for the Lounge info. These virtual support groups really are a blessing for those a bit remote as you find yourself to be.
