Happy Not Back to School Day! « Minnesota Homeschoolers Alliance
The day after Labor Day. In our neck of the woods, this means Back to School: Kids lined up on the sidewalk in the early morning, new backpacks and shoes strapped on tight, waiting for the familiar rumble of the bus as it ambles down the street.
My kids at 8:45 tomorrow morning? They’ll most likely still be in pajamas, finishing up (or starting) breakfast and a morning cartoon, watching curiously as the kids and the bus disappear from view out the front window. As homeschoolers,...

Yearbooks - Minnesota Homeschoolers Alliance
When we pulled our daughter out of school to begin homeschooling, we knew there would be a few things she would miss. The school yearbook, with its reminders of memories, was near the top of that list. While I had fond memories of my own yearbooks, I saw them differently when I became a mom who would have to make them. They suddenly became a formalized scrapbook, and I never liked scrapbooking. Without any extra time or desire to scrapbook, how was I supposed to create a yearbook for her?

Is joining a homeschool organization “worth it?” « Minnesota ...
MHA has hosted a flurry of activities over the past few months for homeschoolers in Minnesota — workshops, Information Stations, and, our newest offering, Coffee Chats. As a representative for MHA, one question I have heard more and more frequently from non-member participants is: why should I join MHA?
