A few years ago a friend introduced me to The Homeschool Magazine. At the time I had let all of my magazine subscriptions expire. I just never had the time to read them. Later, at a homeschooling conference I was handed a free edition. I found the articles were helpful and the ads told me about homeschool products that were new to me. Now in my thrid year of subscribing to this magazine I have found it to be very helpful and encouraging in my endeavor to homeschool.

I also enjoy being a subscriber to several of their newsletters. “The Homeschool Minute” centers around a specific theme with articles from each contributor. There are links to products that would be useful with the theme presented. An issue in September was about babysitting. It had helpful links to unit studies on teaching young girls on the subject. We will be starting these soon! “Freebie Friday’s” is just that, a Friday newsletter with a look at what is out there for free. Something we all like to hear! I also receive the “Teacher’s Toolbox.” The January issue is on nutrition and includes a link for a free nutrition unit study project pack, enrichment tools, a healthy, kid friendly, budget conscious pizza recipe to try, as well as links to additional resources you may want to purchase.

They also have a store with many products that will help in your homeschool and shipping is always free. I am currently trying out the TOS Schoolhouse Planner and will let you know what I think about it once I have had a chance to use it for a while.

If you are a homeschooling family, I encourage you to click on this link to The Homeschool Magazine or the banner below to learn more about both print and digital subscription options. Check it out and let us know what you think.
