Home Education Magazine

Thought I would pass along a good resource.  Mater et magistra is a magazine for Catholic Home Educators.    Chock full of good information and inspiration!  I just received my first issue and for $20 a year is well worth the subscription price.   I only recently learned of this magazine so I thought maybe […]
