The instructor, Matt Fussell—who is not only an excellent artist but a wonderful teacher—contacted me a few weeks ago to let me know about his [...]

By doing web searches online and referring others to do the same, I earn Swagbucks which I then redeem for Amazon.com gift cards. I then use the gift cards to 'purchase' books for free. If you like free stuff, you can sign up for Swagbucks too!
Joy is the wife of Jeff and mom to three more J's — Jaden, Jerah, and Joely.
She and her husband have been homeschooling their children since 2005, when their children were 3, 6, and 8. Joy works from home as a web & graphic designer and spends what little free time she has with her nose buried in a good book.
Joy's motto for parenting, homeschooling, and even business is “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” And that's what FiveJs.com is all about — teaching our children to "fish."
