    Hi Vicki,

    Thank you so much for this resource. You posted the link a couple of months ago on a fb MFW group and I have been using it ever since. My kids and I have enjoyed it immensely. Will you be continuing with 1850 to Modern Times this fall? Thanks again for all your hard work. -- Tammie

      Hi Tammie, I am so glad your family found the links useful. I am planning to continue this fall with 1850 to Modern. I ordered the books yesterday so I am hoping to get started entering links by the middle of June. We usually start back schooling near the end of July so I pray I can get most of it put up before we start back. I think this time frame will be the easiest to do since actual footage should be available. I just wish I knew how to make it all look "pretty". Lol. Maybe I will have time to work on that someday. :) Blessings to you and your family :)

    Thanks so much for all these wonderful links! I've used your resources for the past few years and we so enjoy having the online videos to go along with our study! We'll be starting Exploration to 1850 this fall -- this page is already bookmarked in my school folder!

      Hi, Shoregirl - I am so glad to know that these pages have made your homeschool adventure more fun! I pray you find the Exp to 1850 links just as helpful. Honestly, the kids didn't get to watch as many of the videos as I would have liked but we did enjoy what we were able to fit in. I hope your family will enjoy them, too.
