A Message From The Publisher...Hi! Wow! It's a big week! First, it's Get Organized week. So I found some incredible resources to get organized, both for yourself, and also for your homeschool! It's written by a professional organizer, and just for homeschoolers! It includes how to organize your stuff: storage strategies for homeschool families, Also "It's about time: managing time for homeschool families" and also "Keep the home fires burning: home management for homeschool families". Plus it's Poetry Break week! So why not take this time to teach your child about poetry with these great resources. It also happens to be National Pop Corn Day, so what's better than a history lesson over a bowl of popcorn. Plus, a friend of mine told me a neat trick. If you sprinkle in some sugar when your popcorn begins to pop in a pan, you get a great version of Kettle Corn! That will sweeten the history lesson! Thanks so much, and as always, enjoy your time with your kids. Time is fleeting and kids grow *FAST*
Sincerely,
Bonnie Han,

And by the way, has anyone ever explained to you the best way to suppress the testimony of a witness during a court proceeding? No? Well then..... first you take a large sack.......
