One of my favorite weblogs is my friend Susan Ryan’s Corn and Oil. Susan writes from her family’s farm (150 years and counting) in Illinois, and she covers homeschooling and issues related to homeschooling such as daytime curfews, mental health screening, universal preschool and more. She explains:

“I’m passionate about that pureness of every family’s characteristics or ‘style’ not being invaded or affected in a negative way by ‘experts’ or ‘the authorities’. I treasure our freedoms and the abilities to not be standardized into what someone else thinks we should be. Monitoring the ‘powers that be’ and their asserted will/votes is one of the ways we do that. Along with the blessing of enjoying a good quantity of time with our family.”

Susan also has the cutest picture of her twin boys on her blog’s header!
