We’ve just added a welcome video to our “About” page. It’s a brief, 2 minute video explaining what we are all about and a few tips for brand new homeschoolers! Angela is a homeschool mother of 5, and has been homeschooling from the beginning.
Brenda is a homeschooling mother of 5, who has a wonderful husband encouraging her to be the best woman that God has created her to be. Together they are very intentional about spending time together as a family. She considers her daily life with her children as her ministry and has found many avenues to encourage others to live a lifestyle of learning. She is the founder of an online homeschool community, Our Lifestyle of Learning and a curriculum review site authored by a group of well-known homeschool bloggers, Curriculum Choice. She blogs about their homeschool journey and family traditions at Tie That Binds Us.
I’ve heard some concerns about homeschooling in California and how asking your super-intendent’s office for advice on homeschooling is not a good idea. I do not live in Ca. so I’m not aware of any hostility towards homeschoolers. Here in Fl, they are very easy to talk to. Here is a link that gives you an updated run-down of the laws for California: http://www.hslda.org/laws/analysis/California.pdf
The best place for info about homeschooling in CA is the California Homeschool Network:

In particular, their “Just the Facts: Step By Step Guide:

Please do not go to your local school district or Office of Education for advice. 🙂

Many states also have websites for their state-wide homeschool organization, and information about complying with the law is provided on their sites. We have this in Georgia. I LOVE the video, BTW!!

Love the video, Angela!
Several great homeschooling organizations here in Ohio. I’m part of a local group, but also of our state wide group called Christian Home Educators of Ohio (CHEO).
I believe if you join HSLDA, they provide you with laws for your state. (Not sure if you have to join or not to get that info.)

Great video! I also wouldn’t advise visiting the local school districts to ask about homeschooling in NC. They are completely out of the loop so I don’t think they have any idea. For help with NC Homeschool Law I recommend http://www.nche.com.
