Greetings to all! Please Read!!

Hello all,
I am SO glad you are here! Welcome to my blog! May it be a tremendous blessing to you, your family, friends and anyone who homeschools!

I am so glad to be able to give this site to you and your friends as a ministry. I actually use it myself all the time and gives me the opportunity to have the links RIGHT there, without digging too much, cutting, etc. I am also thankful to be able to let others know that it doesn't have to cost alot of money to homeschool. I am sure many of you have heard, "It costs too much!" Well this shows that it doesn't and it can be FREE! I am glad to see through the counter that many of you come and enjoy this site and it does take a lot of time and energy to keep it up and make sure the links are uploaded.

Since you DO enjoy it so much, in order for my to be able to keep it open to all, there are some things that I would like to ask of you, please:

First of all, when you enjoy links, please leave a comment! I do check to see who has been here, and I like to make that connection with others that have been here. I cannot do that if you don't comment. I also LOVE reading others blogs and would like to be able to read yours too!

Secondly, I ask that you link this blog to your blog. I have recently added in my sidebar, a clickable link, for you to add to your blog! For those of you who enjoy this site and visit regularly, I would appreciate it, if you could share it with all of your blog readers.

For those who are already doing the above, Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

ALSO, Remember that I constantly update links, add links and categories ALL THE TIME, so just because you checked once, doesn't mean it isn't there now! I added a bunch today, btw! So make sure you check back on a regular basis to see if the link you need is here! I try to keep it up! Also, if you don't see a favorite link that you LOVE? Please email me at bulldogsnoble5@gmail.com or post it here in a link and I will get it uploaded.

PS I know that the date is off on the post for those that like to "point that out".  It's that way so I can keep this post at the TOP of the page.  Remember, I have spent years, hours and so much time doing this.  It IS a ministry for EVERYONE.  It IS FREE.......so I would think the least of the concern should be the date!  Enjoy it......may it be a blessing to everyone!

Sincerely,
Southern Belle

Found you on Frugal Friday! I haven't taken the time to really look through everything, but I'm excited about what you have to offer. My DS just turned 1, but I've been researching, taking notes, stock piling and the like everything I can find about homeschooling and resources! :) I will be saving you to my favorites and will make a point of mentioning you on my blog sometime in the near future!

Blessings!

I was looking through items for home school. I'm glad I came upon this.
I use StumbleUpon so I thumbed it up.

Here I am: http://fawn.stumbleupon.com/

I have another Blog but I don't keep it up much.

Brandi said...

I haven't checked the links for a while, but I plan to do that after this comment. I noticed on some of your posts that the date is off. Some have the year 2008, and one has the year 2009.

all in the family said...

Hi Brandi,
First of all thanks for commenting. Secondly, the dates are off on purpose. I put the Greetings to all for next year in order to keep it at the top of the page, so there is nothing to worry about.
Thanks for stopping by!

Did you change your theme? You did, right???! I haven't had time to visit lately, but I know it was different the last time I was here. Anyways, I appreciate you keeping this blog going. It's a blessing to me and many others! Happy New Year!

Hey there Leinani,
Good to see you back my friend. I changed the template (and might do it again :o)) and had it different for Christmas but that is it. The name is the same (and will be), but that is it!

Hi, I am a newbie to homeschooling this year. I purchased a set curriculum (Abeka) simply because I pulled my 6th grade son out of Christian School unexpectedly. We also decided to homeschool our preschooler too. Next year I will be doing all 3 of my boys. I liked abeka, but I don't think I will stick with it for next year. We are looking for more inexpensive and fun ways to homeschool so I will be checking your site out thoroughly and linkinkg you to my blog

thanks for your research!
God Bless

This is great!! Glad to see someone doing this! I don't have a blog (gasp! - and I'm from SHS!!) but would like to have your link in my local LEAH (Loving Education At Home) Yahoo Group if you don't mind. I just created this group and am trying to get great sites like this into the hands of our members.

It's amazing what you can find for free. The phonics links look great. I have a little one who is almost ready to learn how to read.

Mary Jane said...

Hi from Alabama...sorry we didn't get to see you when you were here a couple of weeks ago. If I'm not mistaken it was a bad weekend for us in that half of us were sick and punny (including ME who never gets sick) Oh well...maybe next time.

I wasn't sure which blog to go to to say HI, so I decided to try this one. :-) Praying that you are having a great week and hope to talk to you soon.

Interesting blogs. I have grown children. I liked the handbag blog and left a message.

What an awesome ministry ~ thank you! I'll be happy to link to your blog! It's so important to be able to find free resources; so often, home schoolers are surviving on 1 income. With the economy the way it's going, our kids are gonna have to be much more creative in generating an income!!!

I "favorite"d you and will be checking back as well...

I have a blog on homeschoolbloggers.com and am VERY new to blogging. I get how to cut and paste the code to link to your blog, but where exactly would I put it and how?

Thanks.

Thank you for doing this :-)

@ Dawn:
You cut and paste it to your side bar. When you go to edit your blog, you put the html in your side bar of your layout. HTH

why on earth is the date of this post 1 January 2012?

That's simple. Because I want the greetings post to remain at the top of the blog and stay there.
