Timberdoodle
We spend a ton of time each month sifting through myriads of products and selecting the top candidates. We then ask ourselves whether the product actually does what it says it does. If so, does it do it as effortlessly as possible? As a conservative Christian family, does anything about it offend us? Is it of sufficient quality for active home school families? Finally, we look at it from the perspective of a single-income family on a tight budget and ask ourselves if it is really worth the money. If it passes this process we'll consider offering it for your use. |
