If you are new to homeschooling and looking for curriculum ideas and homeschool resources, here are recommendations of things we have personally used and liked.
If you are brand new to homeschooling, I recommend beginning with my posts How to start homeschooling for the beginner as well as my list of Pros and Cons of Homeschooling.
We currently have a first grader, kindergartener, and toddler so I will continue to add and update this homeschool resource page as the kids grow!
