Free Homeschooling Resources to Help Parents Raise Lifelong Learners
I love it when emails show up in my inbox alerting me that my Swagbucks prizes have posted. Because that means I can go shopping! Here's what just arrived in the mail from my last shopping spree using Amazon.com gift cards I 'purchased' with free Swagbucks.

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."

Learning year by year is a great book. I'm curious are you planning on your son getting a high school diploma and if yes how? make your own, online, accredited high school program etc.

@Rebecca, By 'diploma', do you mean an actual paper diploma? Or do you mean homeschooling him through high school?

@Rebecca, Honestly, I've not thought about it for sure. I doubt we'll participate in an official umbrella program because we're way too eclectic in our curriculum.
I'd think we'll likely have one printed up on our own if our kids are interested in having one. We plan on having them take dual enrollment courses, so that border between high school and college is going to be rather blurry for them.
At one time we sat down and created a name, mascot, and motto for our home 'school'. That will help if/when we do have a diploma printed. (Come to think of it, I need to dig up those old files and do a post about that soon!)
