What I decided.

3. October 2008 by Shannon.

Over on my Little Homeschool on the Hill site, I ran a little “contest” to see what people thought I should do with this blog.  Well, my friend, Rachel Larkin (www.Rachel-Larkin.com) won it with a “book reviews” site idea that I think is quite fun!  SO, in a nutshell, she thought I should “assign” a day for different types of reviews… her idea was only books, but I think I’ll expand that a bit (I can only read so many books a week, Rachel! LOL!) to include curriculum, christian books, great sites, etc…

This is what I came up with based on the abbreviations of the days of the week (trying to be clever here, so excuse me if I miss the mark, LOL!):

M is for Mom (so books related to being a Mom, Parenting, or even Chicken Soup-y kind of books for Moms)

T is for Teaching (so books on teaching, specific subjects that I teach, homeschooling, curriculum, etc.)

W is for Websites (if I find a website I really like.. could be a blog, homeschool site, whatever… know that they will always be family friendly sites!  I won’t ever put anything on my sites that I woudln’t want my own kids reading… so no worries there!)

Th is for Theology (books about God, inspirational lectures - I know, not a book - or even devotionals)

F is for FANTASTIC! (if I find something incredibly amazing, could be an offer, could be a freebie, could be my “Best Book Ever”… my choice! *grin*)

…and if I post on the weekend… well, it’ll probably not happen, but if it did, it’ll probably just be babbling about nothing - LOL! :o)

SO… seeing as today is Friday.. I wanted to share with you a great DEAL that I came across… (unfortunately, as far as I can tell, though, it’s limited to my American Friends… but still, for those of you in the States, what a great deal!!!)

The Old Schoolhouse Magazine is running and incredible Fall Special. You can get two years of the magazine, 6 fabulous physical gifts (no downloads!) worth over $120, plus the current issue of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine that is full of ideas for the new school year, so you start receiving your magazine in a flash!

It really is one of their best deals ever and you don’t want to miss out. In fact, they’ve got a really cute Homeschooling with Heart tote bag (valued at $13.95) for the first 1000 to subscribe. About half of them are gone, but you should still be able to get one if you hurry! They will remove the info from the subscription page when the bags are all gone.) The total value is over $212, but you receive it all for only $39 - 50% off of cover price! Plus subscribers get their online monthly Teacher’s Toolbox which focuses on a different topic each month, giving you words of encouragement, hands-on teaching ideas, book recommendations, field trip ideas, and a bonus download item!
