I count myself very lucky to live in Norfolk. We have many of the facilities you find in a large city without the stress of living in a large city. One of the biggest draws, for me, is that we have such a large, active and diverse homeschooling community. Best of all, we have our very own homeschooling bookstore, Moore Expressions.

I've had reason to thank them twice in the last few months. I needed to change both our math and our English curricula. I did tons of research online, but that only helped me narrow the list down to 2 contenders for each category. I can't tell you how much it helped me to be able to tootle off to Moore Expressions and page through my options. It particularly helped me to be able to page through many Singapore Math books as I couldn't work out where to place Ben and Shira. I ended up buying books two levels too low because we had not covered everything Singapore did. We spent a week barreling through the work and then when we were done, i took the books back to Moore Expressions where they gave me a store credit and sold them on to another homeschool family.

That store credit helped pay for Shurley English.

Another huge benefit of having Moore Expressions is that all their staff are very knowledgeable about their products and every time I've had a query, especially one about a comparison between two different curricula, one of the staff has been able to give me really good advice.

This is one store that Ben and Shira don't mind tagging along to as Moore Expressions has a great children's play space and they always meet fellow homeschooled children when we go there.  However, if dad can watch the kids on a Thursday from 6-9pm, you can shop sans kids and visit with other homeschoolers as that is the only time children are not welcome at the store.   Sometimes you need to spend a bit more time looking through the curricula and it helps to have an environment that is devoid of children making demands on your time.
