		<description><![CDATA[Mary Nix shares a large collection of favorite articles on homeschooling which are available to read free online, and which reflect her thoughts on homeschooling and seasons: "Having gone to school myself, I always loved summers more than anything. I loved being able to read, draw, hike or participate in whatever activity I chose on any given day. My children had that freedom every season of their life."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I found a website from Nova, Be an Archaeologist that I shared at the HEM Guide to Resources Blog.  Many years ago my family took part in a dig thanks to a National Park Program that is not far from our home.  We are big fans of history to begin with, so to be a part of such an event was memorable to say the least.  This got me to wondering what resources HEM might have on the subject and it didn't take me long to find one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Becky Rupp's Good Stuff Column has been a part of Home Education Magazine for many years. Her excellent finds over the years and those she will be including in the future are resources that can be enjoyed by the young and old alike. We have often used them as starting points for unit studies at our house.

I thought I'd show you just what I mean by looking at one of the earliest Good Stuff columns that HEM shares online, All Aboard!]]></description>
