Hello fellow homeschoolers and friends.
Here’s a hodge-podge of things we wanted to share with you about what is going on at Homemade Homeschoolers:
We want to thank all those who have downloaded the free Mr. Skeleton craft. There have been a surprising number of downloads! We’ll keep that up for the next couple days for those who haven’t downloaded it yet. Please post pictures of your Mr. Skeleton on the HMHS Refrigerator, and share your family’s creation with other homeschoolers. When you register for the photo gallery you can post pictures and leave comments on others; it’s fun!
Next thing is the HMHS Community Forum. We’re scouring the internet for items of interest to the homeschooling community, such as news articles and press releases. You can expect postings of local area regulations and such as well as information on upcoming homeschool conferences and conventions. We ask that you would help out with the same. Feel free to post links that would be beneficial to the community at large, add information on items posted, and just general chit-chat. Admittedly, it is hard to get a forum “really going” when folks are checking the forum at different times of day, but check it often and contribute in anyway that you can. Tell your friends about it, and we promise that it will grow.
The HMHS Podcast Network its ramping up for release! We have several families that are working on Video podcasts; and from the sound of them they are going to be really fun. We at Homemade Homeschoolers Headquarters are also working on an audio podcast which will be a little variety show with news and views, music, comedy, recipes, unit study ideas, and a whole lot more. The neat thing about the HMHS Podcast Network will be the variety of information and entertainment by homeschoolers just like you! If you would like to join us please let us know. Our HMHS Contact Form is the simplest way.
The HMHS Store is almost ready. We are hand-crafting downloadable Notebooking Pages, Unit Studies, and more to aide you in home-educating your precious children. But, we will have more than those things available; homemade arts and crafts will be added too. Eventually we will have a general store where others can offer their own homemade products as well. Watch this site for more information.
Finally, the last few months have shown an over 60 percent increase in visitors each month! That is an exponential growth that isn’t necessarily expected to continue (it would be nice, though); a new site should have large growth numbers at the start. We do appreciate all the visitors to Homemade Homeschoolers, and hope that you will continue to return. The “share” options at the bottom of each post are very easy and handy for sharing favorite posts with friends. Please hover over the “Share/Save” button under this post and see all the options that are just a click away! The easiest, of course is the “Email This” option. Also, use the subscribe options in the side bar.
One last thing: We are now affiliates with both Christianbooks.com and Amazon.com. If you use either of those sites to make purchases would you consider using the search boxes on our site in the side bar? Those purchases will help us pay for this website by providing us with referral fees. We sure would appreciate it.
Well, that’s it for now. Thank you so much for being a part of the Homemade Homeschoolers Community!
