I checked out the nominees for Best Homeschool Family Blog this afternoon, and there are some really good blogs on the list. I already read The Common Room, where “a homeschooling family chats about politics, poetry, literature, leadership (when the headmaster has time), music, the problems of having nine family members and one bathroom, animals, vegetables, minerals, cabbages, and kings, and whatever else strikes our fancy.” Good stuff.

I also read The Beehive, “the ruminations, ramblings and rabbit trails of an eclectic, opinionated, and outrageously happy Christian homeschooling family of five.” Queen Shenaynay loves Henry V and C.S. Lewis and Wodehouse and Jane Austen and Tolkien and . . . She’s a kindred spirit.

I discovered as couple of new (to me) blogs that I plan to re-visit soon:

Quirky Nomads: “The story of a family that said, “If the Republicans get any worse, we’re moving to Canada.” And then? They really did.” I think the Republicans are getting worse, too, but probably not for the same reasons that Sage thinks so. Nevertheless, I thought her story of being cornered by two marketing drones was funny.

School at Home, out of Tennessee, seems to have lots of good content: lesson plans, book lists, activities, and links. I liked the post on the Candy Cane Lesson Plan and may go back and do some of it in the next few days.

Large Family Logistics has a lot of information on pregnancy and childbirth, but I’m past that now. If you’re there, LFL looks like a good place to read.

So I found several great blogs in this category, but I stuck with my first inclination which was to vote for The Beehive. Kindred spirits should stick together.
