My Favorite Things... er, Sites...

"Since I’ve been making you work really hard on the previous Memoir themes I decided to take a little break, and do something fun! This week I want to invite you to share a few of your favourite things - er - sites. I know the list of favourite things could be never-ending, but I’ve made a list for you to do regarding your favourite homeschool things."



We've been asked to share our favorite sites in the following categories... here are mine:


Magazines/Carnivals - in print or online: I love cooking magazines, and Taste of Home and Simple & Delicious are two of my very favorites. I subscribe to online recipe magazines, too, like the one at MyRecipes.com.

Freebie sites - any sites that offer freebies or often have giveaways: I like the weekly homeschool free downloads offered at CurrClick.com.

Homeschool news/informative: I don't really follow any news sites, although I probably should.

Forums/book clubs: I am a lurker at HS Lounge and Vegsource. I would love to be part of a book club, and I have been considering asking my friends if they'd be interested in attending one if I start it.

Networking, Blog “About” (sites that offer tech-support or tutorials for computer/internet) & Quick Links: I don't use any of these, yet, but am glad to know I'll have a list of them to check out after this week's assignment!

Mom site - a sites just for moms: I like Lisa Whelchel's and Cindy Rushton's sites.

Inspirational/encouraging/motivational: I enjoy the daily devotional e-mails I receive from Proverbs 31 Ministries. You can find them at www.proverbs31.org

Youth/kid - sites geared towards youth/kids or owned by them: I don't visit any, other than the ones I use for obtaining homeschool lessons, games, etc.

Memes: This is the only meme I participate in, although, I'm thinking of taking part in Wordless Wednesday, since photography is one of my FAVORITE things!

Organizing/crafts - sites that you look to for organizing tips or crafts: I like two blogs for organizing helps: www.declutterit.com and www.orgjunkie.com

Homemaking/Homesteading: I don't have any "favorites" here, but I sure am enjoying reading every blog from the Mr. Linky on the weekly Homeschool Memoirs meme. I'm sure I'll find some new favorites after this week's assignment, though!

Bible-focused - sites mainly about God’s Word: Crosswalk.com

Homeschool Method - sites that offer a lot of info on a certain method: I don't have a certain method of homeschooling, therefore, I don't have any favorite sites for this one.

Family blog - sites that give you a glimpse into another family’s life, run by a family: Again, no favorites here, but hoping to be introduced to some new ones!

Businesses, particularly homebased: I don't have any in this category, either. I bet I will soon!

Thanks for the opportunity to share my favorite sites with others. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone else's favorites and probably coming up with some new fav's myself!

As always, have a Blessed Day in your homeschool!
