The Carnival of Homeschooling is up - Making Time for Things That Matter

This week's Carnival of Homeschooling is being hosted by Janice Campbell at Taking Time For Things That Matter.

Janice used the name of her blog as the theme for the carnival. She starts with:

-----------
Are you ready for 2011? For the last Carnival of Homeschooling for 2010, we have a loose collection of posts under the general topic of Making Time for Things that Matter. I find that the beginning of a new year is a good time to reflect on the year just past and think ahead to what we'd like to see happen in the new year. At the very least, it's a good time to count blessings!
