home|school|life's Friday roundup of the best homeschool links, reads, tools, and other fun stuff has lots of ideas and resources.

It’s a busy week here at home/school/life as we prep for our web relaunch, work on the summer issue (I just signed off on our summer reading guide!), welcome our awesome new intern Erin, and try to log as many pool hours as possible.

Around the Web

Obviously, this list of Myers Briggs book recommendations is spot on since it gave me Jane Austen.

There is no way I am not going to get a little excited about a new Anne of Green Gables movie, but Martin Sheen is not my Matthew Cuthbert.

Why hover boards aren’t going to happen: Way to break everybody’s futuristic-dreaming little hearts, Neil deGrasse Tyson.

I teared up a little reading this story about inclusiveness and kids with special needs. I’m going to do this better.

On home/school/life

On the blog: Starting next week, we’ll be featuring new content every single day for the next four weeks to celebrate the relaunch of our website. And y’all, there is some good stuff in the lineup—be sure to check it out!

On Pinterest: I love this idea for prettying up all those inevitable cords.

On the blog: Tracy tackles the question that never fails to stump a homeschooler: “Are you enjoying your summer break?”

At Home

Jason and I are listening to the audiobook of Wolf Hall.I love how the narrator reads Wolsey like a dissipated Winnie-the-Pooh — it feels so appropriate!

My daughter signed up for this anime drawing classthrough Craftsy — the instructor has been awesomely available and responsive. (Thanks to Stephanie for the recommendation!)

This Firefly t-shirt has found its way into Jason’s Father’s Day gift pile. (Shh, don’t tell him!)

Notable Sales

The KnitPicks summer yarn sale is going on now, with lots of yarns up to 40% off. I’m eyeing this dreamy gray fingering yarn for a second Boxy. (I love my first one, the worsted version that I knit last winter.) I’m also going to grab some superwash bulky for baby knitting, but I can’t decide between this avocado green color or a sunny but not-too-bright yellow. I’ll definitely be using it to knit this Fisherman’s Pullover, though. (I think it might be my favorite boys' sweater pattern.)

Get 20% off select items at Oak Meadow's Summer Solstice Sale this weekend (June 19-22). If you don't have Crafts for the Early Grades (such a great resource!) or a copy of The Heart of Learning, this is a great opportunity to scoop them up at a discounted price.
