Find more Internet Gold by clicking here!! This weeks assignment is to share our Internet Gold: those sites that we find useful or inspirational. 1. Favorite Blogging site: Homeschool Blogger 2. First place you look to buy a book: If I am looking for something that is NOT a homeschool book that I want new then I go to Amazon becuase they always seem to have the best prices and there is free shipping after $25. 3. Favorite Homeschool Support Area: Homeschool Blogger and various mailing lists at Yahoo Groups 4. Site you buy NEW curriculum from: I always check out Rainbow Resource first since their prices almost always beat everyone including Amazon. 5. Site you buy USED curriculum from : Ebay and VegSource 6. Sites offering frugal tips: Dollar Stretcher, HillBilly Housewife and Money Saving Mom 7. A Site offering good wholesome recipes: Recently I found What A Crock! which is full of recipes I have to try. I also like Sue Gregg Cookbooks 8.A Homeschool Family site I purchase things from: I recently purchased the Raising Leaders Curriculum from the Beck Family. I also like products from Cindy Rushton. I believe her children are all grown up now but my favorite phonics product ever is from Back Home Industries 10. I will be looking at all your posts for educational calendars and graphics sources because I don't have any. 11.Site Offering Homeschool Freebies: Homeschool E Store has a free product every week. Hands of A Child offers a free ebook lapbook every 3 months. There are also lots of free worksheets constantly changing at Teacher Created Resources 12. Blogs you visit for various reasons. All my favorite Homeschool Blogger Blogs are listed in my Friends bar. I do not know how to add favorite blogs from other sites yet but a couple of them are: MultiTasking Moms, My Teachers Name is Mom and Starry Sky Ranch. 13. A site that you allow your childrento visit. So far we haven't let our kids use the Internet much. Honestly, it is boring to supervise them cause they like such silly stuff and I slowly go crazy. When they have gotten on they have spent way too much time drooling at everything they would like to have from the Lego Site. 14.Other favorite sites: Vision Forum (we spend WAY too much money here), Classical Homeschooling, Homeschool Tracker, Library and Educational Services (amazing deals but a limited selection of product) |

Click to see other BFS entries for Week 3!
I am getting this in at the very last minute but it looked like too much fun to miss. Part One: Using each letter of the alphabet describe yourself or things that are important to you. I had a little bit of trouble with this one. For some letters it was hard to choose just one from all the words possible. For other letters I had a hard time coming up with just one word. Abundance Books Cuddling Disorganized Education Family Growth Honesty Internet Jesus Kids Learning Momma Nurturing Old-Fashioned Practical Quietness Reading Serious Teamwork USA Virtue Wife eXamining Yeah!!! Zookeeper Part Two: Share a Scripture that is on your heart.. Psalms 132:12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. Several years ago I found out that I had had a great grandfather that was a traveling preacher in the Tennesee Mountains. Sometime between his generation and mine our family had turned away from Truth. Having grown up unchurched I marvel continuously at the fact that God found me and saved me. I do not want my children to grow up not knowing Jesus or what He did for us. I continually remind them that it is important not to stop with just their salvation but that it will be their responsibility to teach their children so that they may also know. I pray continuously that our family never has another generation turn away from the Light.
