Retirement only lasts but a short time

So way back when (in the spring) I decided that I needed to retire, and I was ever so happy to do so. But alas-our plans are not always the Lord's. So when August rolled around, I saw a post on FB about a new review team being put together and I got that same feeling I had when I originally saw the TOS call for review team members. I prayed about it, consulted the family and then decided that I was in fact being led to try out. I left it in God's hands as to whether or not I made the team. I did! And so a few months later-here I am as a part of an 18 member team to review homeschool curriculum/products and other items. It is set up a lot different than what you are used to seeing. We do not post the reviews on our blogs (as of yet and only after they are on the website) and the website setup is unique compared to other homeschool review teams. Viewers can leave comments (like at Amazon) and there will be give-away promotions on the very products we review, and other exciting things catering to the homeschool family.

Right now the site is in Beta Testing, but you can check out what we have up right now. They are working hard to get new reviews up quickly, and look for the Thanksgiving/Christmas products very soon. I hope you will visit it to see what my team mates and I have been up to. Since my goal is to help homeschooling families find the best products for their children, and it is vital in this tough economic time to make wise, informed purchases-I simply had to mention that there is another place to go for help and advice. Regardless of where you glean your information-we as a homeschooling community need to look out for each other and offer wise, supportive help to be sure we continue with this awesome challenge of educating our own. Both the Home Educating Family Review Team [my new team] and the Old Schoolhouse Review Team [as well as other groups] are working toward one goal-to help you sift through the multitude of products out there with ease and with wise council.

I do have a page [on my Homeschooling on a Wing and a Prayer blog] dedicated to noting the reviews that I have written (or am in the process of writing) and you can directly connect to those (a lot of them have yet to go live-as they come up, I will add those) and once the site is publicly launched-I will have all those links changed to reflect the permanent ones.  You can click the tab at the top or click this link to get to it.

Until then, enjoy the Beta Testing link to the site and let me know what you think!
