I don't know about you, but whenever I'm shopping for something, I always look for a homeschool business first. I love supporting others in their endeavors, because I know just what it's like to be a small homeschool business. It's fun, it's long hours, it's great learning fodder for the kids, but it's also difficult. We little guys are out there, competing against the big boys who have oodles of bucks for advertising, flyers, inserts, promotions, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Then we have those 'mega homeschool sites' that sell everything from advice to crayons and calculus programs, but they wouldn't know a real homeschooler if one walked up and bit them in the nose. They exist only because we're 'a market' and they can make lotsa $$$ off of us. Argh. Don't get me started.

If you believe as I do, and you'd like real homeschool businesses from real homeschoolers, visit my Shop With Homeschoolers page. And, if you're a HS biz owner, and you'd like to do a link exchange, look for instructions at the bottom of the Shop page. Please know that both you and your site will be checked out thoroughly before addition. What can I say. I'm a pain that way.
