I agree entirely with the author here. Wow..I feel like I could have written this!

WOW!! This site is wonderful. I really like the section with printables for homeschooling moms who are trying to get organized.
It seems like they’ve come up with every kind of planning/record sheet. They EVEN feature an record keeping system for UNSCHOOLERS!!!
I have to start keeping a portfolio for my little one next year, and I think I’m going to use the unschooling printable for my “log of educational activities” that’s required by the state.

The rest of the site is awesome too!

While the ads are a bit annoying, dealing with them is TOTALLY worth it because this site is just AMAZING. It’s a fantastic resource complete with recommended books, videos, and craft ideas sorted by theme. Printables available too such as coloring sheets, dot to dot pages, word searches, etc . SONGS and fingerplays too! Wow! It looks like they have an option to join for $25 a year, but when I explored the site, I found a variety activities that were available to non-members. If you try it out, come back and tell me about your experience.
