The Players

Spell Outloud Terminology:
DH --dad, well actually it stands (most of the time) for Darling Husband
DD --Darling Daughter
DS -- Darling Son

DD#1 is 10yrs. old
DD#2 is 7 yrs. old
DD #3 is 2 yrs. old
DD#4 is 8months old
DS, yes is the only boy, and he is 9 years old.

At some point, if things get really confusing, maybe I'll come up with cool codenames (I doubt it---as I'm just not that witty or clever) Most likely, I'll just use their real names. But for the time being, I'm just going to be using message board lingo. I hope you don't mind.

About Spell Outloud

Welcome to Spell Outloud, my little corner of the internet. 

My name is Maureen Spell and I am a Christian homeschooling mom of 6. Spell Outloud has nothing to do with spelling and everything to do with learning--especially for families with young children. I share many hands-on toddler and preschool crafts, activities, and free printables. With kids ranging from toddler to teen, I am able to highlight many varied homeschool activities and curriculum reviews. I've been homeschooling for over 10 years and consider it a lifestyle. I love brainstorming and sharing ideas and hope that the activities and information found on this blog help others in their educational journey.



Some of the topics you'll find here are:

* Toddler/preschool activities, ABC ideas, and crafts
* Homeschool projects and themes
* Free educational printables
* Curriculum, books, and family product reviews (Please contact me for more information if you'd like me to do a review/giveaway.)

In addition to writing on my blog, I also write educational and craft articles on Squidoo and am a contributor on Totally Tots and The Homeschool Village.

I currently am offering family-friendly advertising on my blog and my printables site: Advertising on Spell Outloud
