Usborne July Specials

photocredit

July is a fantastic month with Usborne Books & More, as it's their annual New Titles month, in conjunction with the best deal of the year for home-shows: Double Free! I have been able to preview a lot of the new titles and I would just like to say they keep getting better. The book cover at the top of the post, Jonathan James and the Whatif Monster, by Michelle Nelson-Schmidt, is my favorite new title from Kane Miller. It's a paperpack story that is worth every penny of it's $6.99 price tag, for the message it entails. It's a story about a little boy who worries "What if?" throughout his day and the ending will get a big smile from adults and children alike. A lovely story for any child encountering a new situation, this book will give them the boost of confidence to try new things. 

Hostess specials are incredible this month, as once a year (and you never know when it will happen!) Usborne allows hostess to receive DOUBLE FREE the amount of books for having a home show. This is the best time to have a home show as it allows you to stock up your children's library, or get all the kiddos Christmas gifts early this year, by just opening your home for an hour or two with your friends.  Here is a link to the PDF file that shows just how good of a deal this is: With an average show, you could have $140 in FREE Usborne & Kane Miller titles. It's a steal, and if you're local and need more information, email me at sslamast@gmail.com for details. 

Please keep in mind I have room for ONE more home show this month as my dates booked pretty quickly, email me soon if you want to have one in July! 

If you've ever wanted a great insiders discount to Usborne & Kane Miller books, but need more information, July is also a great month for joining the team. There is an option between 2 kits to buy (one large, one small, priced respectively), and this month, you can join for only $10 down. Details here. It's a great way to earn a bit of income on the side while gaining an awesome amount & quality of literature and non-fiction for your household. I have loved every book I've gotten (free, really discounted, OR full price!) and I can say it easily pays for itself if you're ready to go. Again, for any other questions feel free to email me. 

Lastly, let's not forget the Customer Specials that come out every month! With every $40 spent, you have the option to choose up to 3 of the customer specials, which are discounted about 60% off the retail price. This is a great way to stock up the birthday bin, get inexpensive but quality, useful teacher gifts for the next school year, Christmas gifts in advance, or a home school project book. Here is the flyer listing all of the customer specials, but some of my personal favorites are Math Puzzles (a wipe-clean packet of cards), The Zoo by Suzy Lee, and the board game Picture Word Lotto (similar to Bingo).

Home School Activities: Board Games We Love

My children have recently become enthralled in the world of board games. I was never a board game player. Sure, I remember long summer hours (days? it seemed like it..) spent around a Monopoly board, but I was never one to suggest to get out the cards, or a game. As my children have grown and they are now able to do activities with me, I started noticing that they really took to puzzles (when done all together) and the one or two board games I happened to have kept in the storage room. They were always asking to play Candy Land and so I figured I should branch off a bit. Over the course of the last year, I have found GREAT games, even ones that I love to play alongside them. The amount of 'teaching' they have gotten through games is jaw-dropping. Counting, team-playing, math related patterning, are just some of the skills I've watched develop. I asked before Christmas on facebook what my friends and their own kids loved and I was thrilled with the response. We have found ov...

Home School Resources: Links we Love

Source: ladyanndeborja.tumblr.com via Sarah on Pinterest Today I'm just sharing a list of my favorite go-to resources for home schooling. It's a list of where I find games, books, crafts, and fresh inspiration. Also included are articles I've loved about home schooling. One of my favorite websites about homeschooling, updated daily, is Simple Homeschool . It's a shoot off branch of SimpleKids & SimpleMoms, and they often have great giveaways, advice, and have concise and interesting topics. A friend recently guided me to World Book Online to find the general requirements of each grade. At the curriculum fair I went to in April, I remembered two vendors that I want to revisit if they return. One was Hepner's Legacy and the other was Miller's Pads and Papers (don't be fooled by the poor websites, they have great products at good prices). TED Talks . Go. Watch. Now. All of them. Awesome. Even if home schooling is a laughable topic to you, you're ...

Lukka's Birthday Interview // 17

17! You're FINALLY 17! You can drive independently, and you have read the manual, watched professional drivers and gleaned tips from others about this test that you've been dreaming about for years. You were given a car by a friend of ours, cleaned it to perfection, fixed it up in places, and have driven your sister and friends all over for the past week in near-unbridled joy. I am so happy for you (and I'd be lying if I wasn't happy for me, too)! You are such a mature and kind-hearted young man. You have big plans and are taking the steps to proactively execute them. You are sweet to your sister even if you'd deny it in front of your friends, and your relationship with her has come full-circle back to being as close as you two were in your littlest years.  You have so many goals and you work hard to achieve them! You prioritize what's important to you, and are willing to cut the rest. Although I sometimes wonder how you will remember to get to appointments with...
