But what about that thing called “life” that keeps rolling along? How on earth can a homeschooling mom possibly find time for planning and shopping while balancing family life and housework?

Where to Find Online Support Groups for Homeschoolers
There are also forums for the Well Trained Mind, Sonlight (though access is on a pay basis), Homeschool Share, VegSource and Heart of the Matter Online’s new forums. There are many homeschooling boards I haven’t listed and some are very active and others are not.

Yahoo groups. You can find a yahoo group for just about any homeschooling style, method or...
