As promised http://www.mamalim.wordpress.com. I had decided to switch over to WordPress as it had more features than HomeschoolBlogger especially for someone computer illiterate like me! HomeschoolBlogger is great for someone who knows all those HTML codes and then they are able to tweak things around and personalise their own blogs. Now I ain't computer savvy and yet want a blog that looks like MINE and mine only! Do not that I am only transferring some posts over. So if you are looking for past postings, you'l l have to continue to check it out at www.HomeSchoolBlogger.com/MamaLim. And remember to Subscribe to Building An Ark in Singapore by Email if you want to be kept updated of new postings! PS : For those of you who have kindly put me under your blogroll and/or links, could you please help me amend the url? Thanks sooooo much! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Articles for the Christian SAHM can be found at : www.BuildingUpMoms.WordPress.com |

There are two things going on at The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. First of all, you may be interested in their new eBook, What About Socialization? Dispelling the Myths.
AND
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine is having an amazing sale on subscriptions during their annual Black Friday Sale November 26 – 30. For those 5 days only, they are drastically reducing their one-year subscription price to $7.95! That's the price you would usually pay for just one issue at a bookstore! This is their lowest price ever on the magazine and they want all of you to take advantage of this offer and share the info with your friends. Please don't miss out. Your one-year subscription will pay for itself time and time again as you receive practical tips and Biblical encouragement to keep going strong in your commitment to homeschooling and to the Lord. Since it's a quarterly magazine, they even have a monthly subscriber's only E-Newsletter called Teacher's Toolbox that will give you seasonal teaching ideas and a free E-Book download! It's like joining a unit study of the month club! The free E-Books alone are valued at almost $250/year. It's really perfect for people who are homeschooling on a shoestring or just wanting to add in some little extras to your teaching. Plus during the Black Friday Sale, they have all kind of bonus gifts when you spend $50, $75, $100, or $150. Some are electronic downloads that you can download immediately, while other are physical products mailed from various vendors directly to your home. AND, their Win Big contest is going on so if you just happen to be customer 67,000, you will receive a prize package valued at almost $500 which includes a $150 gift certificate to the Schoolhouse Store! Who couldn't use that? And you can qualify to win it no matter how much or how little you spend! Mark your calendars for November 26 - 30th and do a little shopping from your seat, not your feet at the Schoolhouse Store's Black Friday Sale! www.TheOldSchoolhouseStore.com *** Do note that the promotion is valid for US customers only. International customers can still save by subscribing to the digital version of the magazine. Singaporean customers, if you prefer a magazine to hold in your hand

I'd like to first thank those of you who have contributed to the maintenance of Building Up Moms by purchasing books through The Book Store. THANK YOU! However, in view of baby #7 making her arrival in March 2009, God willing of course, we will be closing down The Book Store. Since Christmas is fast aproaching, this will be a good time for you to help me clear out my inventory plus stock up on Christmas presents for your family and friends! :) And to make sure you get value for money, all shipping (via normal SingPost) will be FREE! There are limited quantities of certain books so do grab them early if you can. I would appreciate it if you could help me pass the word around as I would really like to finish clearing them quickly before the baby arrives! Please check out The Book Store to see the discounted prices on individual books. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Articles for the Christian SAHMs can be found at : |

In case you were looking to purchase something from Homeschool eStore and have been putting it off, now is a good time to get as they are offering a 10% account credit on every single purchase you make 10th to 17th March 2008. This is to celebrate their name change from Homeschool eStore to CurrClick or Curriculum in a click. Click HERE to find out more. Do you know that they have thousands of curricula on their website in eBook form? An example is my purchase of Writing Strands curriculum. I paid US$15.16 (versus US$20.00!) through them and saved on shipping as well! Most of their eBooks are 30% off and the best part - to me - is that you pay ZERO shipping! Another great benefit of signing up with them is their weekly free eBook they offer to their subscribers. So do go and check it out! Click on the logo below to bring you directly to the site. Have fun browsing!
