These are the stories that capture our minds & hearts and deserve a place in our Homeschooing Curriculums. This site is for parents to swap ideas on how to use these topics in homeschooling making "school"fun for all of us. We will be creating a collective pool of information to pull from and creating a unique group of friends.

We broke the "topics" out into other Yahoo Groups because the files/links got overwhelming. This will make it much easier to locate topics of interest. This is our main chat page, the other sites have topic based discussions & info: ex. mysteries or fantasy, to history or math/science/magic trick oriented pages. E.I.'s other Yahoo Groups are listed in the files area.

Local members(near Andrew's Air Force Base,MD -Southern MD, DC & Upper VA is close) can get together for occasional fieldtrips/playdates, while the non-local (virtual) members can link up for online discussions of topics as well. I would like to do online book chats eventually for parents & kids. Books & downloads can be posted & a discussion time set -either by email threads on the topic or live chat. Kids can read/be read to/audio books -whatever helps to be prepared. Help in setting these up would be highly appreciated. Also online scavenger hunts.

We'd love Craft Project ideas,Dioramas pics/ideas, share Recipe/Party ideas that go with our fave Fictional themes, fave book & authors lists (for kids & adults), plus fave movies + reviews, gaming (board/card/video), Anime, Animation, comic books, graphic novels, & cartoons.

We see a big gap in the homeschooling community in utilizing Science Fiction & Fantasy as a legitimate theme for homeschooling curriculums. Please feel free to add to all of our sites.

Entrepreneurs of all ages have been sharing their philosophies, project ideas, successes, and questions on this list since 2002. We've written an ebook, created an annual international conference (http://www.EntrepreneurDays.com)and have seen several members launch successful Internet careers.

We love to talk about selling on eBay, investing in real estate and learning to market on the Internet.

And now we have once again made history by turning this very group into a product you can offer and earn a 50% affiliate commission on. We recently moved to a real site hosted by Sharyn Law-Davis of Australia!

Entrepreneurs At Home is where we continue to share in a private forum and we'd love to have you join us!.

Our new site even has an affiliate program so you can invite your friends to join and earn passive residual income as long as they are members!

Many of the regular posters here are Guest Experts at the new site and have posted wonderful articles.

This quote sent in by Elizabeth, one of our members, characterizes who we are:
"I hope you never again think of faithfully serving God as merely not sinning a lot, doing 'business as usual,' or just not quitting. True faithfulness as a steward is much closer to extraordinary entrepreneurial excellence!"
~~Bruce Wilkinson in A Life God Rewards

This is a discussion list for homeschoolers- eclectic, unschooler, natural learners, classical or whatever else fits what you do to educate your children at home. We are all doing the same thing in the end: trying to provide the best education possible for the ones we love most.

Anything related to homeschooling is appropriate, which is life so all discussion is on topic! Discussions of differing opinions can be done with respect dignity. Let's keep this a positive place for interaction.

NOTE: Members who proselytize or degrade others for their beliefs repeatedly will be first moderated and then removed.

A member said it so well, "It works for us, but most everyone I know thinks we're nuts and "wasting the whole day" when we sleep until 10:30 or 11. I think they are "wasting the whole night" when they go to bed at 9! Nice to meet all of you. Wendy
