Here is a great website that will give you information State by State on the Laws For Homeschooling..

http://www.hslda.org/

I would advise anyone seriously considering homeschooling their Child/Children to check out this site first. I myself have never belonged to HSLDA because Illinois is one of the easiest states to homeschool in..

As a second step I would find and contact a local homeschool support group.. Check with your public library. If you belong to a church talk with other members who might homeschool.. There are some great programs out there if your willing to search them out..

Oh my gosh there are so many WONDERFUL sites on the internet that have to do with homeschooling.. Go to www.google.com and do a search on homeschool.. The response is awesome..

Ebay is a great source of used curriculum.. (here I go getting myself in trouble with ebay again)

I'll post some of my most favorite Homeschooling Sites later on this morning.. I have been up all night (because I am a moron) and now I can't go to sleep for at least 5 more hours.. I'll have to take a nap after 7:45 when the last of the children leave for school..

m days a week

Just to keep the game going

Are those not just awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Man I love aprons!

My Friend Grubby is a peach! She shared some of her elderberries with me.. And surprised me with 3 vintage aprons! Pretty great person to have in your corner! Love ya Grubby!

She's still searching.....

I agree that's why I love the bib style too.. I really get into it when I cook.. Plus I wear them when I butcher chickens or whatever else.. Since I am the double double plus size!

(backspace?) I was just making sure everyone was paying attention!!!!!!!

Most of the time my favorite is pinto and bacon. I usually serve them with cornbread and fried potatoes.. The kids douse theirs with ketcup.. (Yuck) I put vinegar in mine and DH puts nearly a whole sleeve of crackers in his... I will use Great Northern and a ham bone and serve it the same way..

Still waiting on "grubby" to send me some of her soap! Haha just kidding if you haven't noticed my halo is missing!

The information I have says that Grandfather James and his sons David and Joshua settled in Sullivan in 1832

I am pretty sure the year they came to IL is in our family book but I don't have a copy of it.. I will have to obtain it from my sister and see if I can help you out.

I was going to be a smartbutt and remind our fearless leader of the SEARCH button at the top.. But Cat beat me to it!

I wanna learn how to knit! Cast on? Cast off? What the heck?

Seed Catalogs!!!!!

Merry Merry Christmas!!! Here's wish you and your families and friends warmth and love.. This cold snap we are having gives everyone the excuse to snuggle up to those we love and just have a great time in each other's company! Tonight we are supposed to celebrate Christ's birth, but I have been so wrapped up in the mess of Christmas I think we have gotten away from the true meaning! Perhaps after my menfolk get home we can eat and sit down and read the story of his birth in Luke.. God Bless you all..
