Stuff We Love

Hot fudge sundaes, patchwork quilts, finding money on the street . . . we can think of A LOT of stuff to love.

Travel with us through some more homeschool related stuff we love.  Here are our reviews of homeschool materials, sites, and books too.  Some of these product reviews were done as professional compensated reviews and others are just things we’ve stumbled across.  Either way, all our reviews are our honest opinions.

We’re readers and we’re raising readers.  There are so many great books out there we want to share with you and we hope you’ll leave a comment telling us of the great reads you’ve found too.

Many of our reviews also include projects to go along with the book.  Karen invented the ”book project” to take the place of the book report, going from boring to beguiling.

We also think there’s too much really great literature to spend your time in smut.  We won’t recommend books that contain profanity, sexuality, over the top violence or otherwise offend basic decency and morals.  We’ll also let you know if there’s anything that could possibly offend or be a problem so you’ll know if this book is for you.

Navigating the waters of homeschool curriculums can be downright dangerous to the wallet.  We give detailed reviews of products and curriculums out there so you can make a better decision about what will fit your family’s needs.  {Want your product reviewed?  Please e-mail us at contact@layers-of-learning.com with your proposal.}

We also love to feature others.  Sometimes we feature projects, people, or sites we happen upon and love, and sometimes people find us!  Either way, there’s nothing better than swapping great ideas and finding new web-buddies.  Check out our contact us page if you would like to be featured.  Click on the button to see our latest features.
