My house is brimming with teen boys who love everything tech. I love to see them using the computer for something other than Minecraft. (I know, I know, it can be educational too.) So when I saw Code for Teens written by a homeschool dad to homeschooled kids, I bought it right away, knowing that someone in my house was likely to devour… Read More

And if you have several kids to buy for, it might be impossible to come up with that amount of money. And, what if you just don’t like… Read More

Some things have changed. Many have stayed the same. If it’s working, don’t fix it, right? Want a sneak peek into what we’re doing this year? Here’s our… Read More
