For the Domestically Challenged

Want to be a knitter or teach your kids but don’t know where to start? I am so glad I found these How to Knit Videos.

The Nester has a free ebook, It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful, when you sign up for her newsletter. Great book, and I encourage you to make your hubby look at the photos of her messy cabinet like I did. Love it!

For your Homegrown Kids

Such a cool idea for Christmas shopping for siblings. Angie at Many Little Blessings is also the main lady at Homeschool Classroom and has so many cute ideas for kids. I don’t just love her because her name is Angie (close enough!) and her hubby’s name is Eric.

Want a fun Christmas idea for your kids? Read this post I wrote about making Christmas Gifts for Jesus.

Weighing the pros and cons of Facebook for kids? This post I wrote generated some pretty strong comments from readers. Find out what I decided to do.

For Homegrown Bloggers

Amy Bayliss has lots of cute free blog templates on her ministry online site. Amy is a graphic and web designer and has such a heart for online ministry. She’s also one of the founders of Heart of the Matter Online and A Woman Inspired. You’ll love her blog!

I met Allen from Aptune.com on Twitter when I asked a question about Photoshop. Since then, I’ve been watching his step-by-step Photoshop tutorial videos for fun. And I don’t even have Photoshop. Yet. But when I do, I’ll be ready. He also has web design videos with words like CSS and HTML. If you’re geeky enough to know what that means, check them out. And don’t think that having a beautiful blog designer gets you out of having to know, because you’ll still have to learn eventually.

Homegrown Homeschoolers

Speaking of beautiful blog designers… Feeling like a sorry excuse for a homeschooler? You must read this Letter from an imperfect homeschooler. Prepare to feel a whole lot better.

Dreading holdiay get togethers with homeschool-hatin’ family? I got some great advice when I posted this question on the Homeschool Classroom. How do you deal with family members that don’t support your decision to homeschool?
