News for homeschool moms

Monday, 20. October 2008 by Renee Ellison

Read Renee’s latest news for homeschooling moms, which mentions the blogs she has been writing to encourage you.  Her latest was a funny one on how to stay warm in the winter!  Many of the blog entries were written in direct response to a mom’s actual question regarding some schooling glitch, disciplining a difficult child, how to get along better with hubby, etc.  Also, we want you to know about Renee’s one-day hands-on domestic workshops in Durango: in the morning she covers Cooking with Confidence; the afternoon topic is Sewing Tricks and Tips.  The workshop includes 2 free nights’ lodging.  It costs $99 for mother or eldest daughter.  If you want to BOTH come (and/or bring a friend), the second person is 1/2 price ($50).  This power-packed workshop will take you from where you are now, to significantly increase your homemaking skills in both areas.  You AND your family will be glad you came.  You’ll leave smarter and more confident, with a whole bag of tricks you’ll wish your grandmother had taught you years ago!

Looking to get out of the city?  If you know of anyone interested in buying a home in Durango—country living with city convenience—read about a home for sale in Durango.  The October ‘08 issue of Money Magazine included Durango (in beautiful southwest Colorado) among the top six retirement destinations.  It considered towns that are close to water, have good medical care, relatively low taxes, affordable housing (this one is way below the average price for Durango), well-rounded communities, and lots of indoor and outdoor activities.
