BOOKS

Hard Times in Paradise: An American Family's Struggle to Out a Homestead in California's Redwood Mountains by David Colfax, Micki Colfax

I love this book by some real homeschooling pioneers. My husband couldn’t put it down either! This is not curriculum- just a fun read for Mom and Dad, especially if you like homesteading stories.

Homeschooling: A Patchwork of Days: Share a Day With 30 Families by Nancy Lande

I wish this one had been around when I was deciding to homeschool, to give me a peek at what homeschooling was “really” like.

Please feel free to share these resources with your friends!

Kindly tell me about any dead web links or changes in information. Thanks!
