Homeschool Library Builder

Through being a part of the Homeschool Crew I was sent a link to a discount book website - and well, who doesn't like a good sale?

Homeschool Library Builder is focused on supplying affordable literature - and they are currently clearancing out a LOT of books for $1, $2, $3!! The site carries a variety of new and used, hardcover and softcover titles (sometimes overstocks). Their shipping prices are great too - media mail for a purchase up to $25 is only $4.50.

I've been browsing around the site today to add some books to my collection and have found some other great things about the site too:
  • A Frequent Buyer Program: As a site "member" - i.e. providing your email, you receive a monthly newsletter that has sale information, lesson plan ideas and more. You also earn "book points" for each dollar you spend on their site. Fifteen book points = $1 off a future order. AND If you refer friends to the program you can also earn 45 book points!! yeah - you tell 'em I sent you over!!


  • A handy search feature to search for books for books related to a specific curricula: Beautiful Feet, Sonlight, Five in A Row, Tapestry of Grace...very nice!!


  • Ability to search for books by country/geographic region (which I am LOVING!!)


  • Spotlight on the season: ideas and suggestions for the upcoming season that includes crafts, lesson plans and other resources.


  • Fundraising opportunities - 20% of the fundraiser sales for your organization and they take care of all the orders for you!

I'm off to start digging through their bins, because the dollar bins and low shipping are calling to me right now (and yes, I have lots of books, but I have this ! Just wanted to pass along a great deal to you all!

Mini Office Lapbooks

This last week I've been busy getting things ready for the upcoming school year. This weeks goal was to get together some mini office lapbooks for the kids. A mini office is essentially a go-to place for your kids to get information to commonly asked questions related to schoolwork.


If you want a little more information on making mini offices for your kiddos this year, head on over to my other blogsite Our Homeschool Creations for some more pictures and detailed instructions.
