This is a review for which I was sent a copy of to review. The thoughts in this review is mine and my families. No, one else.
I like how Charlie and I can use Create, Share, and Save Money Using Open-Source Projects in Homeschool for our Cooking Class through preparing meals we share with other.
I like how the Author even included websites for Charlie to find Recipes on. Saving both Charlie and I time. As we discussed Food Sharing I let Charlie know this would also work with Gardening.
The book is so easy to read and understand that Charlie and David have found several projects they want to tackle which we can use in Homeschooling.
Do you want to live a more sustainable and economical life using open-source technology?
