The Homeschoolers Income Makeover By Tisha Silvers

I was lucky enough to be on a homeschooling email list with Tisha, which is how I found out about this wonderful e-book of hers.  She is a homeschooling parent, and has started several of her own home based businesses.  In this wonderful book, she not only shows you how to do the very same thing, but she also gives you a ton of resources both for business AND homeschooling. 

It's an amazing book that tells you how to go through the various steps of starting your own businessTisha gives you resources that are both on and off line, some of which you wouldn’t have been able to find on your ownI know this, because I’ve looked and almost all of the online sources were new to meThere are some that I’ve found before, but without her personal recommendation on them, I wouldn’t have gone back to themShe also gives you some great advice on how to find and use great resources off line as wellIdeas that made me hit my forehead thinking “why didn’t I think of that!"

Trish Silvers puts all of this into one great package, in an easy to read, well thought out, and inspiring book. Knowing that not only is she a homeschooler, but this is written expressly for homeschoolers, makes this book even betterAnd the price of the book makes it even more available to even the tightest budget. I highly recommend that every homeschooler who needs to bring in extra money should get The Homeschoolers Income Makeover. And if you’re a single mom like me, who’s also homeschooling, it’s a MUST HAVE!

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.
