We have homeschooled our twin boys since 1999, and they weren't the only ones learning! On this page I plan to share some of what we've learned, discovered, developed, and used along the way on our homeschooling journey. Forms were developed to fit our specific needs. Lists were created, lessons planned, materials organized, websites visited, books read, projects assembled, methods developed, and requirements met. Time-saving ways to organize, document, and accomplish homeschooling activities, as well as a variety of practical tips, is what you'll find here! I even plan to throw in a few of our favorite recipes from the "homeschool cafeteria", courtesy of the resident chef.

Important Note:  Many of the forms are based on meeting requirements for homeschooling in the state of Kentucky. Be sure to check for current, specific homeschooling requirements in your particular state.
