We are very casually preparing to homeschool our preschooler. I was wondering if any experienced HSers had tips on what kind of supplies you like to stock up on while they're cheap during the summer.

Just had to say that I have a 4yr old who is/was "failure to thrive" and a million other such labels. We were constantly at every kind of specialist trying to find a reason, and there really was none. In hindsight I wish we would have...

Could you get a PT job anyway or have DH work more? I'd leave the student loans alone for now (keep paying monthly). I'm a SAHM but my DH works over 70 hours a week to make that possible. It certainly evens out to what I'd make working...
