Okay, this is posted on Tuesdays is for Teaching, I know.. but today is all about a little brag…

 I just got the latest issue of The Old Schoolhouse magazine, and if you look on page 92, under the One Year Novel… they quoted my incredible son, Everett!!!  ALSO.. on page 107, Daniel from Salem Ridge Press quoted ME in his advertisement!!!! (psst.. I’m Shannon R in case you didn’t know… *wink*)

 I know, silly… but I didn’t expect to see it, so it was a little giggly surprise around here.  Just thought I’d share.

 I’m planning on posting more regularly come the new school year… I have lots of ideas, and I’ve already started writing.. so expect to see some great reviews coming soon! :o)

OH!  And check out this year’s  Homeschool Review Crew at the Homeschool Crew Blog.

Blessings!

Summer is here and we’re too busy playing outside (well, sometimes.. we are getting a lot of rain this summer!) so I’ve been a little MIA.  But books are never far from my thoughts… children’s books topping the list in my library.  SO, you can imagine how excited I was when I heard that Bookcloseouts is having a HUGE children’s book sale (please tell me you’ve heard of Bookcloseouts!).

Since I’m pressed for time - there is a little girl at my elbow begging Mama to go start a “marshmallow fire” (you know, a cookout fire so she can cook marshmallows) - I thought I’d just share the banner I got notifying me of the sale and I’ll leave it for you to go check out all the goodies.  But please leave me SOMETHING… okay?  I’ll be heading over there later when the Littles are in bed! *grin*

Blessings!
