Guest Post: Tuesday's Homeschool Tips
We're excited to welcome our newest guest blogger, Deana from The Frugal Homeschooling Mom. She will be writing a weekly post about being a homeschooling mom. She'll be offering homeschooling information, tips and a great perspective on this topic. Please feel free to comment, share your own ideas and information about Homeschooling!
It seems like there’s a wealth of information out there for those interested in homeschooling or those of us who already do it. We’re lucky to have such resources and to be able to find support in local co-ops, Yahoo! groups, church groups, etc. There are numerous magazines, books, and blogs where you can read about how other families do it.
It’s important to remember that although it’s helpful to find support and information for your homeschool journey, it’s not wise to compare yourself to other homeschooling families. The beauty of homeschooling is that each family’s story is so different from the next.
If something works for your family – stick with it! Be content! But if something isn’t working - - then consider asking others what works for them, and if it “meshes” well with your family, then by all means, give it a shot.

It’s important to remember that although it’s helpful to find support and information for your homeschool journey, it’s not wise to compare yourself to other homeschooling families. The beauty of homeschooling is that each family’s story is so different from the next.
It’s fun to read about the different curriculum's, schedules, lifestyles, and priorities of others, and to socialize with other homeschooling families, but you’ll make yourself and your children miserable if you attempt to model your homeschool after theirs. Trying to imitate another family’s methods will almost always lead you to disappointment because your needs and desires may not align with theirs.
My advice to you would be to consider what your own family’s needs, priorities, and desires are before trying something just because it’s a new idea to you. The wonderful thing about homeschooling is the diversity within the supportive community of homeschoolers.
If something works for your family – stick with it! Be content! But if something isn’t working - - then consider asking others what works for them, and if it “meshes” well with your family, then by all means, give it a shot.

Swagbucks - Are You A Member?
Are you a Swagbucks member? I have to admit that I get lazy when it comes to all of the points and surveys companies. I just don't seem to have the time to keep up with them all! I'm sure you can relate, right?
I have to say though that Swagbucks is super easy! You can earn points for practically everything (online searches, online purchases, visiting their website, etc). Today, I logged onto the Swagbucks website and got points from a new feature on their website. Here's how you can get points, too:
- Log onto Swagbucks - register for new users, log-in for existing users
- Go to "Ways to Earn" at top of page - click on that
- Click on "Special Offers"
- Go to "Non Obligation Offers"
- "Skip the Ad" for several ads
- You'll get a Swagbucks code after 2-3 quick ads.
- Be sure to copy and paste that Swagbucks code into the appropriate box on their home page.
Note: I think the code changes everyday so you can do this over and over. Easy!
You can redeem your Swagbucks for cool prizes like gift cards, apparel, books, games, kids items, etc!
If you haven't signed up for Swagbucks, you can click here to sign up and get started!

Frugal Friday: Save Money on Laundry Detergent
We're all looking for ways to save money and be frugal, right? Well, I am tired of paying high prices for laundry detergent! I have 3 boys (including my husband) who live in my house and I am constantly doing laundry! Even though I am frugal and use coupons, laundry detergent is expensive!
I have had many friends actually tell me lately that they are making their own laundry detergent. What?! This sounds great but also sounds like a lot of work! I thought I'd research it further.
I "googled" it and found some interesting things online so I thought I'd share with you in today's "Frugal Friday" post. To make your own laundry detergent for less than $1 a load, check out this video with easy instructions from a mom who knows how to save:
Let me know if you've tried this (or similar recipe) at home and how it works. I am still a bit skeptical but willing to try if it saves this much money!!
