Homeschool Spanish Support

If you haven't been to Señora B's blog at El Rincón Español and you are teaching, learning or interested in learning Spanish, it's a must see! I am absolutely amazed at the amount of information Señora B shares. Besides an extensive link list and recommended resources, she includes tons of flashcard ideas, grammar helps, cultural information and virtual field trips.

If you haven't seen El Rincón Español, please be sure to check it out and leave a comment. It is becoming a wonderful Spanish resource!

Frugal Cooking Site

Have you ever been to the Hillbilly Housewife website? The site has tons of ideas and recipes for frugal, home-cooked meals. Some of the recipes would need to be adapted if you are very health-conscious, but the site is invaluable for help and encouragement for low-budget homemade cooking. There is a new Frugal Holiday Recipes section that is definitely worth checking out.

Other highlights include the Emergency $45 Menu and Emergency $70 Menu; Magic Milk Shakes; Homemade Convenience Foods; and Beginner's Bread.

The site's previous owner also has a site called An Old-Fashioned Education, which is a free Charlotte Mason style curriculum.

Enjoy!
