Muttnboofer My husband and I finally agreed on a set of houseplans that fits everything we want in a house. It turns out it's only about 2000 sq. feet at most. The real issue for us was how the house was laid out and how practical it was.

Muttnboofer We had a good experience with internethomeschool.com when my younger sister was homeschooled. The only drawback is that many people might find it kind of pricey. They hold classes online and the kids can interact with each other as well as the teachers.
