We have also really enjoyed the Homeschooler's Resources Blog MOD 2, it has been a nice addition to everything.  This mom has put a lot of work into her blog and her resources and we truly appreciate that. 

We are also using vocabulary bookmarks from donnayoung.org, they are available for each Module.  There are so many great resources available for Apologia.
