It's Award Time!

It's Award Time!!!! 

The 2011-2012 TOS Homeschool Crew Blue Ribbon Awards to be exact. 

I've been so blessed to be on the crew this year.  Many of the products that I have reviewed have become family favorites and easily incorporated into our homeschooling day.  As I look ahead to our curriculum for next year, my experience with the review products have definitely influenced my choices.  So many great things in store, but here's a quick look at the past year!  Wow - we reviewed a lot of stuff.

Obviously, since my kiddos are all littles, I did not review a product for each of these categories.  In that case, the blue link will take you to the main crew blog post.  You can read what others had to say about the product.  If I did review a product below, I've included the red link to my review.  If the product got my personal vote, then I marked it with ***.
