Keeping up with the day-to-day adventures of a busy family takes a lot of work. Managing a home is a full-time (permanent position) that requires much of your time, effort, attention, commitment, dedication, and most of all, love. As you may know, things do not have to be as difficult as they may seem. I have found and utilize many helpful websites that offer ways to help your days, weeks, and months run smoother. There are free meal planning sheets, various organization print-outs, and templates and tips to helpful tips and tricks to help you get started and be on your way. My top 3 sites that I use most often are realsimple.com, simple-dimples.com, and home-storage-soulutions-101.com. I absolutely love these sites and have all bookmarked.
One of my favorite websites that I didn’t mention earlier is the thehomeschoolmom.com. This site has everything! There is a lot of valuable information offered and great resources. They have everything you may need from homeschooling (all grades), organizational tips, tons of resources and many, many more.

Random Post
This is a random post about a few things that were on my mind. First off, I’m new to blogging and just starting to get a feel of the site and get my feel planted on the ground. I am open to any suggestions, comments and ideas. Also, I will be uploading photos and links soon in sha Allah.
Homeschooling in the 2k’s
As salamu alaikum. I just wanted to start off by saying, for any parent that homeschools more than one child, hats off to you! While we only have been homeschooling for a few months, it feels way past a few years. We did not purchase a boxed curriculum, rather so, we chose to build his assignments from “scratch”. We purchased (and borrowed) many books, workbooks, supplements and guides. But with our son, it is either hit or miss. There are no in betweens with this child. Homeschooling now days are much different than any other times. We homeschooled for a while in 2007, shortly before moving back here. Yes, there was internet, but the number of devices that are available in today’s times are unbelievable. When we are traveling, our son accesses many educational websites via many hand held devices, ex. cell phones and tablets. I have even read that many parents “Kindle Homeschool” their children. The number of parents and guardians choosing to homeshool is also growing. I think that everyone should exercise their right of being able to decide what they think is best for their child, even though it is evident that some don’t or shouldn’t.
