Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve dropped by.
If you stop by my real house, I’ll brew up a pot of tea or coffee, and we’ll relax and visit on my front porch. Here in my online home, though, the visit will be virtual but I hope our time together will be no less refreshing. Pour a hot drink for yourself, and let’s visit in the quiet of my digital front porch. I’m delighted that you’re here.
The Unlikely Homeschooler
I'm a wife to my "Mr. Right". A momma of five. A maker of slow food and simple living. A collector of memories, a keeper of books, and a champion for books that make memories. An addict who likes my half-and-half with a splash of coffee. A fractured pot transformed by the One Who makes broken things beautiful. I heart homeschooling, brake for libraries, and am glad you're here with me on the journey!

Cathy Duffy has been reviewing curriculum for the homeschooling community since 1984.

While we stretch beyond homeschooling, our primary goal always remains the same: To help families successfully educate their own children!
The Curriculum Choice
We are a veteran group of home educators with a mission – to spread the word about our favorite curricula and help YOU make informed decisions for your homeschool. Meet the review authors and browse the homeschooling tips they share
The Homeschool Roadmap
The Roadmap provides current and prospective homeschooling parents with free summative information about over 6,000 homeschool-oriented resource providers in over 300 different content areas. In the process, we hope to encourage and equip homeschooling parents as they raise and educate their children.
If you simply want to know a provider's position on common core, check out our original cornerstone content, the COMMON CORE PROJECT. Or, if you're seeking more - i.e., subject areas that a provider covers, suggested age ranges, which homeschool/learning style is employed, worldview perspective, delivery method (print-based, kits, online, apps, etc.), or whether something is free - explore our DELUXE CHARTS PROJECT.

Book & Media Reviews
Dove
Faith and Family-Focused Reviews for Today’s Media
A Mission to Inform
The Dove reviews are based on Christian values and we want to serve all families and individuals who love great entertainment, but also want to spend their time and money on God-glorifying storytelling. We also recognize that our families might have unique sensitivities, so we want to bring you insight and information so that you can make informed decisions. We don’t pretend to know your family better than you do, but we will give you a point of view through as much of a biblical lens as we are able. And we’ll grow and learn through your feedback.
Geeks Under Grace

EDUCATE Christians on how to safely consume pop culture from our worldview.
EVANGELIZE geeks with the message of the Gospel by building bridges between Jesus and the geek community.

Kids-in-Mind
Our Mission
The purpose of kids-in-mind.com is to provide parents and other adults with objective and complete information about a film’s content so that they can decide, based on their own value system, whether they should watch a movie with or without their kids, or at all.
It’s like a food labeling system which tells you what a food item contains. That’s it. We make no judgments about what is good or bad — or anything else. Indeed, we do not “condemn,” “critique” or “criticize” movies. And we don’t “praise” or “recommend” movies either. We advance no “beliefs” and we do not “preach” anything. We are not affiliated with any political party, any cultural or religious group, or any ideology. The only thing we advocate is responsible, engaged parenting.

MOVIEGUIDE® also meets with major movie studios and executives in Hollywood and advise them on how they can make their movies more family and Christian friendly.
Plugged In Online
What We Do
Plugged In is a Focus on the Family publication designed to shine a light on the world of popular entertainment while giving families the essential tools they need to understand, navigate, and impact the culture in which they live. Through our reviews, articles and discussions, we hope to spark intellectual thought, spiritual growth and a desire to follow the command of Colossians 2:8: “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.”
Redeemed Reader
At Redeemed Reader, we are parents and educators (and writers and librarians). Our hope is to shine a gospel light on children’s literature, equipping you to make great choices about books for your children and teens.
When we review books, we rate them on literary excellence and their compatibility with a biblical worldview. We also offer practical resources and thought-provoking reflections to help you choose books and read with discernment.
If parents and educators are equipped to engage with children’s and teen’s books in light of Christ and culture, then they are better able to shepherd the imaginations in their care.
Squeaky Clean Reviews
In mid-2008, a mother wrote me and asked if there was a site where her 15-year old could check out the content of a book before reading it. After a little research, I was unable to find such a place--one that was specifically geared toward the needs of Christian readers, that covered a broad range of books, and that was current. As someone who's been unpleasantly surprised by undesirable content in a book, I decided it was time to start a new web site.
Time for Squeaky.
We cover a number of books for all ages, and we're growing all the time (In fact, you can help by writing reviews!). Besides telling you how entertaining a story is, we fill you in on any undesirable content, and give each book a second score based on that. Now you can make an informed decision about the books you read.
