Blog Walking through the Crew Week 1

-

Photobucket

Last week the The Old Schoolhouse Review Crew began to gather in a special forum to get to know one another. Someone had a great idea for getting to know the blogs of the crew members. Some call it a Blog walk; Some call it a blog crawl. In either case it is taking the time to read and explore a couple of blogs a day. The goal is to explore all the Crew blogs by the end of the crew year. I'm excited at this opportunity to get to know some fellow crew mates and read a wide variety of blogs. I'll be posting weekly the blogs I explore (with links) so you can have a chance to meet them as well.

Here are the blogs I visited this week:
1. Alane at Reaping a Harvest—Alane is an e-maginary friend I “met” years ago on a yahoo group for homeschooling.  Check out her tab on Why Homeschool.

2. Lexi at Pink & Orange Coffee—I enjoyed Lexi’s humor and her blog is very organized. She has a tab just for homeschool reviews.

3. Alina at Live, Laugh, Learn!—I admire Alina.  She homeschools her oldest who is also attends school.  I liked her perspective.

4. Mrs. Mandy at Mrs. Mandy's Musings—She has some adorable pictures on her blog and she uses my favorite program Homeschool Tracker

5. Wonder Mom at  The Fantastic Five – This is another very organized blog.  She has some  great photos of the crafts they’ve done.

6. amber at  Refined Metals Academy – Amber is a homeschool parent who was herself a homeschool student.  Reading her blog reminded me of when my girls were little.

7. Amy at Just A Moment in Time – She has a cooking/recipes category with a really yummy looking cake recipe that I think I’ll have to try.

8. Angela at My Journey – She has some great info different curriculum.

9. Pebblekeeper At Petra School – She has a tab set up just for TOS Crew reviews so when we get started you’ll want to check it out.

Blog Celebration Giveaway!

I’ve been looking for an excuse to host a give a way.  I thought oh I’ll do a giveaway when I reach 100 followers!  And then suddenly I had over a hundred. Then I thought ‘why don’t I celebrate when I’ve written 100 posts?’  Typical of me, I didn’t pay attention and I went right on writing past 100. So now, I’m thinking I’ve got to do a Give-A-Away this week because of the Ultimate Blog Party .   (You can read my Blog Party Introduction post here .) So I look at my post count this morning and I realize that THIS POST is my 150th Blog Post! So now, I’ll just *have* to give something away.  But what?  What can I give away?  I know.. Coffee!   I’d serve coffee (or tea) if you were sitting here with me in my dinning room chatting so here’s your chance to win a $15 Starbucks Coffee Gift Card To enter leave a comment.   I’ll use a random method (such as random.org) to choose a winner.  Winner will be announced April 9th! Required for first entry:  Tell me what you would purchase with

Happy New Year!  With the New Year, I opted to change the look of my blog.  It's currently a work in progress and Tailorbear is doing some design work for me. It's been about a year since I last posted.  I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with blogging.  Did I want to continue to blog?  What would write?   Then I found inspiration. It's a long story and I'll share it - bit by bit - going forward.  I am still passionate about education.  While BooBear, TurtleGirl, and Tailorbear are now busy being adults,  Supergirl continues with her "homeschooling."  As our special needs, medically fragile, miracle girl, she continues to amaze us, and we continue our commitment to keep homeschooling as long as she is interested and still making progress.   I will continue to blog about homeschooling-related topics. However,  I am most excited about blogging about my health journey. I want to share what I am learning!  I'm inspired to write about my new way of eating a

Yes I am specifically writing this post to link up to the Friday (I know it's not Friday!) Homeschool Blogger Link Up hosted by the Homeschool Review Crew a division of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine.  This Crew Blog's post is Homeschool Review Crew Needs You.   Yep we want to grow the crew an to do that we need more home educating bloggers.  But not just bloggers.  We want Vloggers too!  Are you an active You Tube Vlogger?  We have a section in the 2019 Crew Application just for you! Now that you know why I am writing this post let me tell about my long term love affair with the Homeschool Review Crew.  We meet to speak when it was brand spanking new in 2008.  An online friend and co-moderator with me of an online email group for home school support had just embarked on the Maiden Voyage of this new concept of receiving home school product in exchange for a review!  Back in those days you didn't have to be a blogger you just had to have a place such as a home school s
