I've been learning heaps about Google+ and even been drowning in email notifications ... That took a little detective work but I learned how to deactivate those!
This year the crew will be combining their collective homeschool knowledge on some great Pinterest boards and I'm looking forward to seeing some excellent encouragement and support this year specifically for Homeschool Mom's.

How kind of you. I came over to say HI and thank you for all your work on that! You're so kind to share!
Love your HSMJ! I usually link each week, but for the past 3-4 weeks, I've been involved in other "bloggy" pursuits and have not had the opportunity.....that may be where I've seen you linked in the past. I love all your tips in the "helpful advice" section...thank you!
Looking fwd to getting to know you, Chareen!

Hi Chareen! First of all THANK YOU for that lovely planner. I'm a planner maker and that is top notch bang on! Thank you. Second I TOO figured out how to disable the Google+ thingy. So annoying filling up my inbox but now I feel like I'm missing stuff. Oh well. I have to figure the whole thing out.
ReplyDeleteThird. Those piano guys??!! Never heard of them. Where have I been. So talented. I still struggle to make music on the regular 'ol keys. Wow! Thanks for sharing.
To a new year of the Crew!
