New product reviews and feeling my age

Posted in Encouragement

The latest issue of Homeschool Reviews for You was sent at 3am yesterday morning.  When I got up 5 hours later to face a full day of swimming at our local homeschool day at Sun Splash, I told my husband, "I'm too old for this!"  I remember the days in college when I would pull an "all nighter" - not anymore!  Even today, I feel like I'm trying to recover.

I've included part of this month's newsletter below.  Subscribers received there own edition which featured our fun contest to win a free book and other special offers.  I hope you'll decide to subscribe so you don't miss out on a single issue

Homeschool Reviews For You
May 2006
 
In this issue:
Greeting
New Products
Announcing the Winner from Our Last Contest
New Reviews
FPEA Convention Special
 
As you might have guessed, we have been quite busy around here! Our formal schooling has taken a bit of back seat while we work together to bring you our new, improved website, more products, new articles and more! The boys are getting older and have been able to pitch in a bit more, which has definitely lightened my load. Now if I could just get Zack to take up web design, I'd have it made :-)
 
I hope you have taken a chance to visit our site - we are still doing some tweaking here and there, so please pardon our dust. This week I added a new article titled, Homeschooling Outside the Books - Math Lab Day. I'll be adding more articles and posting more blog entries over the next several weeks. I'm also working on the next book in our Character Building Copywork series. I'm not ready to reveal the topic, but I can promise you will find it a useful addition to your homeschool bookshelf :-)
 
In addition to writing and our website overhaul, I have been picking out new curriculum to add to our online catalog. We've also been able to lower prices in some instances! Our goal is to provide the best of the best in homeschool resources at great prices. We know how hard it is to homeschool on one income and want to be a blessing as much as we can.
 
New Products...
Here are just a few of the new products we have added this spring:
  
Jonathan Park Audio Adventures- we are so excited about these CDs - perfect for listening to for devotions or in the car as you travel over the summer.
 
Starting Points by David Quine - Worldview curriculum for 7th grade and up
 
All American History - the latest product from Bright Ideas Press. Finally a non-textbook American History curriculum for upper elementary and middle school students!
 
Math Adventure Series - if you've tried the Sir Cumference books, you'll want to check out the other titles we've added for elementary students!  Read below to see how you can get one of these great books for fr*ee!
 
American and World History from the Notgrass Company - we are delighted and honored to offer these well-written, engaging, user friendly, courses for High School students.
 
Created for Work - another impactful book from the author of Boyhood and Beyond
 
Explode the Code and A Reason for Handwriting - you asked for us to carry these series and we're happy to accomodate your request.
 
More? YES - you'll find new titles throughout our online catalog AND I'm adding other resources over the next few weeks!

Truly, a mother's heart IS her child's classroom! On this wonderful journey called homeschooling, it is always nice to have someone to encourage your heart and provide solid practical tips to equip you for the awesome task of educating your children for the Glory of God! I look forward to sharing product reviews, talking about learning styles, and looking at ways to minister to the hearts AND minds of our children!
