We are here to serve your family.

From educational books and materials to educational toys, gifts, religious items and more, we're here to serve you!

...from our family to yours. We offer free homeschool consulting.

Our entire staff has experience with homeschooling. So if you have questions about homeschooling in general or choosing curriculum, you've come to the right place.

We started our humble business in St. Paul, MN in 2000. We've since moved and expanded to a larger space in Ave Maria, FL, our new home. We are located a few feet from the famous Ave Maria Oratory and the Ave Maria University campus. We love our new location and enjoy visiting with all the wonderful tourists who keep our otherwise quiet town lively.

We've recently opened Ave Maria Chiropractic & Health Store next door to By Way of the Family where Dr. Scott & Chelsea Allan have carefully chosen a wide selection of books, health & nutritional items available for sale to walk-in customers. Because both stores share the same shipping & receiving area and the same computer sales network, we are in the process of linking many of those items for sale on this website. Click on "Healthy Living" on the sidebar to see new items added.

We are a family owned business and staff our own family members as well as many residents of Ave Maria Town.

We are open Monday - Saturday 10:00 A.M. - 7:00 P.M.

Thank you for choosing us to supply your family's curriculum and gift needs. We are grateful to all our customers.

May God bless you and your family,

Scott & Chelsea Allan & Children
