We realize that in our recent theme change, we ended up with a front page that is quite the train wreck, but we hope most of the rest of the site works acceptably. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience as we transition from our old site to this one. We are ironing out the glitches as fast as we can! We’ve recently added the Everyday Cooking photo gallery, and we’re adding more posts, Vicki’s Favorites in the shop, an expanded homeschool section, and more! We hope you’ll find it worth the wait — please check back often!
