What is the Homeschool Post?

The Homeschool Post started out in 2007 as a site to host the Homeschool Blog Awards… but we realized that the community of homeschool moms online needed a place to be encouraged, informed, and inspired all year, and not just during the awards season. So we recruited some of our favorite bloggers with mad writing and graphic talent to bring you constant content to help your homeschool journey along – every day of the week (except Sunday – because we all need a break).

We have around 15 authors and many guest authors. You can find out more about each of them by clicking their photos in the sidebar. We are always looking for talented homeschool bloggers to join our team as authors move on for bigger projects or for quieter, simpler days without blogging assignments. We have had some spectacular authors over the past five years and have a fabulous set right now. We hope you’ll follow them on their personal blogs as well as here at the post since they give up their time and talents to work here for free.

What are the Homeschool Blog Awards?

Back in 2005, SpunkyHomeschool thought up the idea of giving homeschool bloggers the opportunity to win blog awards because we were not likely to get noticed by mainstream blog-award-givers. Spunky’s first year of the Homeschool Blog Awards were a complete success even though there were very few prizes offered. Not only did quite a few homeschool bloggers get a much deserved pat on the back for their “labor of love”, but all of us were able to join together as a group – no matter what type of homeschooler we were – and learn about all the talent among our ranks. Some of us met new bloggers, made new friends, and found new blogs to read that continue to inspire us to be better homeschoolers.

When Spunky decided to step down from the blogosphere in December of 2006, the Homeschool Blog Awards got skipped. Sprittibee decided to take up the cause…. only she wanted to do more than just awards. She wanted to host a site that would be a hub for all homeschoolers to come and connect. In 2007 after realizing that the vision for the site was too big for just one person to manage, she began to recruit authors to help bring daily homeschool goodness to the site. Now the HSBA isn’t just an award, it is a whole community and a great place to bookmark.

We want to showcase great homeschool mom authors on the web. We accept guest articles and use at least two guest posts each month, so if you have a post you would like to contribute, please email us. We hope to keep you up to date on what is going on around the homeschool blogosphere and be an inspiration and encouragement to your homeschooling journey.

During award season we make sure everyone is up to date on our legal policy:

Homeschool Blog Awards Legal Policy

The goal here at the Homeschool Blog Awards during awards season is not to run a popularity contest. We are all about the heart of the homeschooling blog movement and want to lift each other up to work towards our ultimate goals: being GOOD homeschoolers. Blogging is a passion, yes . . . but homeschooling comes first. We want to bless you and inspire you as you seek to educate and raise your kids.

Be sure to keep us on your blogrolls and stop in regularly… long after the awards have been won we’ll still be here to bring you great content (including: homeschool news, links, contests, memes, reviews, interviews, devotionals, photos, stories, SWAPs, blogging help, tips, and more). From our heart to yours: ‘Happy homeschooling!’
