A Gentlewomans' Perspective

Aug. 15, 2006 - Its Here!!! Its Here!!!

My ds' curriculum came in the mail yesterday.  I'm so happy!  I had purchased Easy Grammar at a homeschool book sale but I didnt care for it, so I returned it last week and in place of it, I ordered Further Up and Further In.  The difference with tax/shipping was $22.  If I had ordered it from Caldon Creek, the book would have cost me over $55.  More if I got the spiral bound, which I got for $40.  I then ordered the supplemental books by C.S. Lewis.  I ordered these from Alibris for REALLY cheap!  The shipping was a little more than I wanted to pay, but since I saved so much buying used, I still came out better.  The books from Alibris.com were $2.95, except for the Genesis, Finding Our Roots, which cost $13.65 and was still less expensive than other places I searched.

 

The best part was that everything hit the mail box on the same day.  This is unusual as they are often shipped from different book vendors.  I got one book last week, two days after placing the order!

 

So, everything is in and now I just need to go through it and work up our school schedule.

 

Dd is a different story, She starts class next week and her books will cost us.  I'm NOT looking forward to it.  College books are so darn expensive!  And this expense comes on the heal of our family reunion this weekend.  Oh boy....

 

Well, thats it for me.  Gotta go tend to the littles.  I've got a 10 month old, a 2.5 year old and a 4 year old.  They are sweethearts though and gives us lots of smiles and kisses!

We liked how your blog always put a "real" face on homeschooling.
