Few talented authors are able to creatively write a living book or story for a read aloud (usually age- or group-specific).

Back HOME Scheduling our homeschool day: This is something we get questions about, so we thought we’d share for the many who wondered how we take back and manage our day, especially as working and homeschooling parents. How do we homeschool with six children while running a business where we work over 100 – 150 hours per week, and also have hubby working more than full time hours outside of the home (and yes, we home-make our bread and butter and are very enthusiastic about our house staying clean, as well)?
