Get to know the TOS Homeschool Review Crew!

 If you haven't heard of the TOS Homeschool Review Crew yet, you are missing out!
What the crew does, is to review homeschool curriculum and products, and put all of the reviews in one spot, so that you can easily find multiple reviews on one particular item that you may be interested in purchasing.
Of course, members of the crew also post their personal reviews on their blogs as well.
This is a great service to the homeschool community, and I am sure you will enjoy it very much.
Each week I will post 10 members of the crews blogs, so that you can get to know the crew this year.
Other members are also doing this, so be sure to go and check them out.
I will list this each week under the heading TOS Blog Walk.

Working Willingly Wednesdays

I wanted to do a Meme that would help us all to get those dreaded, but needed, things done around the house.
I have always had trouble keeping things up, and I think this will help motivate me, and I am hoping it will motivate others to as well.
I got the name form this verse:
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.Proverbs 31:13
What I thought we could do was to tackle those little things that need to be done, but never seem to get done.
Each Wednesday I will post one or maybe two things to tackle during the week. It does not have to be done on Wed., just before the next Wed.
I want to post before and after pictures, and if you want me to post yours too, just email them to me, and I will put them on here too! Oh, and if you have ideas for things to get done, just let me know.
I really hope this helps us to get those little things done, and that we will be more like the Proverbs 31 woman, and work more willingly, instead of grudgingly.
I hope to see some of you doing this with me. It will make it more exciting!
See you soon.
