I am a fiddler. It's true. I am one of those people who clicks on things to see what they are, only to click "undo" in a frenzy, because I have deleted a system file, or caused some unexpected "rebooting of the system." People who are not "fiddlers" or "tweakers" don't do this kind of thing because "God only knows what will happen!"
This curiosity coupled with my impetuous tendency to jump into the unknown with both feet has resulted in few catastrophes, thank God, and many discoveries. Call me blessed, or call it dumb luck, I have yet to cause a total system melt-down. Truthfully, I suspect that this is really because computers are not as vulnerable to my curiosity as they are to adware or viral attacks.
Additionally, I will see something in a book or on a site that I like, but I would like it much better if it were just a little different. So, I create my own files for home management, and homeschooling. I have spent many hours on a computer, figuring out how to get things "just right."
Apparently, I am one of many "fiddlers" out there. Since I began creating my website in April of this year, I have been humbled by the amazing, creative women (and a few men too!) that grace the pages of the internet with their wisdom, wit and creativity. Many of whom maintain some of my favorite blogs, listed on the right side of the Stone Soup Blog Page.

One of my favorite discoveries is Homeschool Launch.com a free, file-sharing site for homeschoolers. There are many files there, created by really smart homeschoolers, like you, who made something to use in their homeschooling endeavors. Then, they posted it for you and I to use, free of charge.
Check it out. It is very likely you will find something you can use. Or, perhaps seeing what others have created will get your creative juices flowing. ...and you could share it on Homeschool Launch too.
Don't forget to visit me on Facebook, or drop me a note from the Stone Soup "Comments" page. I always love hearing your thoughts.
