Ready to Launch...

I have now transitioned this blog from final project for my MLIS degree to real life. How it will be used, what part of it will be used, if it will be used at all is up to the homeschoolers who find and utilize this blog. I have wanted to launch this for awhile in the hopes that families new to home schooling will find their questions answered and if they are local, they will find a local support group to join. Please email me with comments, questions or suggestions at nbvstudio@gmail.com.

Make sure to check back here (subscribe to the RSS feed!) and please feel free to participate.

Happy homeschooling!
