Carnival of Homeschooling #70: The Yes, No, Yes Edition
Hosted by Dewey's Treehouse. This is not an article--it's an edition of the Carnival of Homeschooling, a truly marvelous blog carnival. I include it here because the hostess based her theme on Yes and Amen: The Magnificent Power of Yes, a blog post of mine. I was honoured by her use of quotes from the post throughout the carnival. If you've never read a blog carnival before, this is a great way to meet a lot of homeschoolers and read about what's going on in these exciting circles.
