Four years ago, I began sharing with my readers product reviews through what has commonly become known as “The Crew”.
The Schoolhouse Review Crew (formerly the TOS Homeschool Crew) is now a group of about 250 homeschool mom (and one dad) bloggers who share with the homeschool community at large their thoughts about curriculum, books, toys, games and other useful products for homeschool families.
Several times a week, we are offered products to use in our homes, with our kids, for several weeks, and then we write about our experiences — good, bad, or indifferent. Reading blog reviews has fast become the number one way homeschool moms research which products to use in their homeschools. I (we) take the job of sharing our thoughts with you very seriously for that reason.
But that’s not the only thing I want to tell you about this Crew. We are much more than a group, bringing individual opinions about products. We are a crew — a team, a group of people working together. And not just working . . .
Praying, sharing, advising, encouraging, loving, concerned, watchful, intentional, and accountable.
Friends . . .
It really is amazing that you could bring together a group of people who will for the most part never meet in real life and develop lifelong friendships. It is a side benefit I never expected when I joined the Crew 4 years ago.
But I am grateful — eternally so.
