Saturday Monday Special: March Usborne Specials

photocredit

One of my favorite things about Usborne is that there are always specials going on. There are internet specials that change every month, hostess specials, and also book specials, too, that go in a rotation at a wholesale 50-60% off price. There is no reason that you can't include a sweet board or story book along with that baby shower gift for just $3.84!

The internet specials this month are especially sweet. Suzy Lee, one of my favorite illustrators and published by Kane Miller Books (a company aquired by Usborne a few years back) has one of her most recent books, The Zoo, on sale for half price in March.
The Zoo, like all of Lee's books, are beautiful play in color and aesthetic, and void of any narration, but full of imagination. This is an excellent book, one of my favorites from the artist. This story paired with a tub of side-walk chalk could be the perfect gift for a child with a birthday, and just under $10.

A couple of other really good deals going on in March are from the "Customer Specials" selection. If you purchase $40 with Usborne, and are looking to stock the gift bin or the home-school library, you have to take a peek at these steals. They are new books slashed half off or more. I already have plans to buy 2 of the "Wind Up Plane Book" at $13.00 a piece (reg. $29.99!). They are great for the kid who loves motion, as they have a couple of tracks throughout the book where the plane stays on.

Another awesome board book for a steal--for all of those people looking for an inexpensive Easter gift "That's Not My Bunny" at $4! (reg. $8.99) These touchy-feely books are some of Usborne's best sellers, and my children still read theirs!

Lastly, the See Inside series has a special in the customer section this month, also one that we recently acquired: See Inside: Math. Perfect for the Math classroom, a student who finds numbers thrilling and interesting, or for the visual child who needs a bit of extra help and inspiration in the subject. Normally the See Inside series are $12.99 and up, but you can get See Inside: Math this month for $6 when you spend $40 or more.

As for hostess specials in March, I'm not taking any current March dates as I'm maxed out, but I'm still in my incentive period and it lasts until mid-April. If you'd like to host a book show to earn double free books (only offered 1 time--during my incentive period of 12 weeks), please let me know asap. The period for the double free is within the first 2 weeks of April. I even give tangible hostess bags which includes invites, drink mix, cookie mix, and catalogs so you have it easy having a party!

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...

A portrait of his sister. From Soulemama's blog : A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
