Goss Homeschool Academy

First of all, using a library as a homeschooler is a no-brainer. The amount of books and resources a typical homeschool family uses relies heavily on the availability and connections that a library can provide. Also, I want to make a disclaimer that using the Nashville library system is not a substitute for supporting and advocating for your local library! We financially support and volunteer at our local library (Spring Hill) and visit multiple libraries often!  Libraries also make a great pit stop on road trips! ( Like this one we visited on our way to Cumberland Gap! ) This post is just to shed light on programs you might not know about at the Nashville library! (Eva Mae is writing a letter to the library mascot "Buttercup") Before we start, did you know that you can get a Nashville Library card for FREE if you are a Tennessee resident? Even if you're not in Davidson county! The $10 annual charge is for digital content and well worth the annual fee if you ar...

I had to get on and post another travel log concerning our adventure in Kentucky this weekend!!!  If I ever were to choose a different profession I think travel writer or travel agent would be my top pick!

I didn't think it would happen this year, but the desire to get away with my kids was too strong and we made it happen!  I originally wanted to do something like Memphis or Saint Louis with the kids since we finished reading about the Mississippi river this year (Minn of the Mississippi) but it just didn't work out.  Then, a few weeks ago we were listening to our folk song CD and they asked to put Cumberland Gap on repeat.  That got my wheels turning and I asked "Would you like to go to the Cumberland Gap?" They both got so excited and I was able to find a great little cabin about 40 miles away from Cumberland Gap for our adventure! When checking out the area for things to do, I realized that one of our routes would take us by Big South Fork National Park!  We got off the exit to Standing Stone monument and took some pictures and learned about this interesting monolith!
