At the end of the year, it is often encouraging to look back and see what has been accomplished. While it’s tempting for any homeschool mom to focus on what she didn’t get done, there is a lot to be said for intentionally taking some time to remember what did get done.

So give yourself some grace and think about all the growth that happened over the past year. Maybe it wasn’t what you had planned or what you expected to accomplish, but it is still growth. And it’s worth celebrating!

We at SCM are celebrating 24 new resources, 10 new Q & A videos, and more than 50 new blog posts written and released in 2015. Each post and resource is a reason to celebrate, but we thought you might find it fun to see the top five. So here are the five most popular products and posts in 2015.
