A Little-Known Source for Buying and Selling Homeschool Materials
VegSource.com is a great place to buy and sell used (and sometimes unused) homeschool curricula. I've used this resource for quite some time. When you get to the site, scroll way down and look under "Message Boards." There are two message board menus, so you'll need to look at the bottom menu (both are on the left side of the page). Click on "Homeschooling," and you'll be taken to the Homeschooling message board area. There are many different topics, including "Items for Sale," "Want to Buy," etc. Be sure to read their terms of service before listing your items.
Since eBay handed down their "no teacher's guides" edict last year (prohibiting the use of said manuals -- as if kids are going to buy them to cheat from), sites like VegSource have proven valuable to homeschoolers needing to let go of no longer needed materials. Many wonder if eBay is simply anti-homeschooling...but that's a different topic that's already been discussed at length on many other blogs.
Check out VegSource -- I'll see you there!
(Disclaimer: VegSource is a site that leans more to the radical side of veganism, and often offers a somewhat liberal political slant in some of their articles. I am neither vegan nor liberal, and am only recommending this site as a way to help other homeschoolers make money and find the materials they need.) |

About Me
Are you homeschooling ... anyway? Very few of us, if any, escape the tragedies and other disappointments of life. In the summer of 2004, we experienced a tragedy of our own with the death of our pre-born baby. It was a devastating blow, but that year we homeschooled ... anyway. We were blessed with another little one, but were soon face to face with my husband's cancer diagnosis (multiple myeloma) in early 2006. And again, we homeschooled...anyway. If you need support, encouragement, or just want to know what "a day in the life" is like for another family who chooses to continue homeschooling in spite of difficulties, stick around! I'm glad you're here, and that I can be here, too, to share the ups and downs (even the days when I feel like I'm skidding sideways) of our homeschooling family: Dad, Mom, two teenagers, a preteen, and a toddler. And be sure to visit my website: www.homeschoolinganyway.com. To everyone who signs up for my newsletter, I'm offering a free report filled with great tips for having a successful homeschool day.
The Starbucks Store
I can't have a user ID like JustGiveMeStarbucks and not include a link to the Starbucks Store!
Go on in and look around. You'll be wanting your own grande cup of joe before you know it!
Save your homeschooling memories with a photobook. When you're home with your kids
all day, you have so much to do and so little time. Scrapbooking is a nice idea...but most of us
never actually get around to it. Photobooks are a great alternative. You send in your pictures
(online), customize the photobook you want, and Snapfish.com does all the work for you.
All photobooks are currently 20% off, and new customers will also get 20 free prints.
And as we know...free is good!
We've all heard of VistaPrint's FREE Business Card promotion -- they've had it for quite some time now.
But what if you don't have a business? Tell you what: these cards are the perfect tool for busy homeschooling
moms who want to stay in touch with other busy homeschooling moms. Have some made out with your name,
phone number, email address, and website or blog info, and hand them out! It's so much easier
than having to drop everything to search for a piece of paper in your purse, only to end up writing
your phone number on a gum wrapper (been there...). Give VistaPrint a try (your friends will be impressed!).
Every homeschooling mom needs her own oasis, a place to recharge after a long day.
Be it a quiet nook in your bedroom, the den, or the bath, make it yours. Start with Candle Bay's very
affordable candles, reed diffusers, and more. Imagine: name brands we aren't being overcharged for!
