There are so many great things happening this week or at least starting this week.  The Ultimate Blog Party and the Spring Reading Thing are just two of the happenings around the blogosphere.  Since I've decided to join both of them for this blog, I'm combining both posts here!

Surfing the Net With Kids - This is one of the most useful sites I have in my arsenal of homeschooling links.  I have quite a few links too, so that is saying alot.  Surfing the Net With Kids is a resource that gives you access to all sorts of things, for free or by subscription.

For free you can sign up for their weekly newsletter, which includes three sites on a single topic.  These sites can be anything from printable worksheets, to virtual field trips.  Usually the theme of the newsletter goes along with the closest holiday, season, or event.  Along with the three sites, you'll also get related games and quotes.  You can also get this very same newsletter via RSS feed.  I've been subscribed to it for the last 3 years.  They always have something new and interesting in every news letter.

There is also a paid subscription news letter that comes with six to nine recommended sites, a printable handout, and lots of additional educational features, tip of the week, & Ask Barbara column.  All of this, plus access to the members only section of the website, for only $39.95 annually or $5.95 monthly.  It's a steal in my book.  I've been subscribed to the paid membership for 2+ years.  I've never regreted it.

With your paid subscription you get access to the members only section of the site, which has all of the newsletters archived, 100's of word searches, printable worksheets for wikipedia, and several ebooks.  There is something on this site for any and every subject that you want to teach to your children.  The subjects range from astronomy to zoo-ology, and for every grade level. 

If there's only one subscription you buy this year, you should make it Surfing the Net With Kids.  It's well worth the price, and you'll get more than your money's worth.

Co-Creating Our Reality  I found this site last week on accident, and now it's become one of my most treasured and most visited sites. 

"Co-Creating Our Reality" (CCOR) is a global online community (75 countries represented) putting the law of attraction and other universal laws and principles to the test."

Created by Lilou Mace, Sandy Grason, & Laura Duksta in 2005, to help all of the people in the world who wanted to create a new reality using the Universal Laws from "The Secret".  CCOR, as it's lovingly known as, is a networking site where you can share your own challenges and insights, and get all the support you need to stay on track. 

I've been learning about "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, for about 6 months now.  I've read the book, watched the movie, and signed up on the website.  My sister, who got me hooked on all of this, started up a google group to study "The Master Key System", by Charles F Haanel, that teaches the universal laws that are in "The Secret".  I've been studying, and trying my hardest to stay positive, to change the way I think, and therefore, change my life.  However, it's not easy staying constantly positive.  Knowing that you can change your reaity, if you just believe it, is hard to sustain all the time.  That is, until I found CCOR.

At the CCOR website, I have found the way to be able to stay positive, and help others as well.  Whenever I am feeling down, overwelmed, and upset with the way life is going, I just set my browser to the CCOR website, and I find others who are having the same difficulties, people with insights and techniques to help me, and suddenly I"m feeling wonderful again.  One of the lessons, in "The The Master Key System" is to surround yourself with positive people and positive thoughts.  I can do this with CCOR, and so can you! 

If you are wanting to change your life, and have read "The Secret" or even "A New Earth", then you'll want to go to Co-Creating Our Reality!  I gaurantee you'll find yourself on the site all the time!
