my lovely little binders
I already shared my Homeschool for Free and Cookbook LiveBinders, but now you can view all of my binders. They are quite at home in the column immediately to your right.
They make so happy because I need to have all my ideas right in front of me. (Which is why I order catalogs.) They are a work in progress. Here is what you will find:
~Homeschool for Free 100% free curriculum
~General Science Links I am using along with Considering God’s Creation.
~Autumn Funschool fun & creative ideas – I’m not waiting until the last minute to plan this year! Includes back-to-school, Sept, Oct, Nov, Halloween & Thanksgiving.
~Yummy for My Tummy Online recipes that we have tried & liked.
~Home Sweet Home Decorating ideas that I have organized according to the rooms in which I want to use them.
Do you have any LiveBinders? Leave a link, I want to come visit!!
catalogs for homeschooling
Back-to-School preparations are in full swing! I want to share my favorite homeschool resource catalogs. I order online, but I like to have the book in my hands to pull it all together in my brain.
Rainbow Resource– This is the Daddy of all homeschool catalogs. It is the size of a phone book – no kidding! Don’t let it overwhelm you, just use it as a tool to see what is out there.
Christianbook.com– A smaller version of the one above, and a good choice if you don’t want to wade through a huge catalog. This catalog is filled with helpful reviews by the Andreola Family.
Sonlight– Tons of great book lists.
Timberdoodle– Lots of educational games, books & toys. They also have products for Special Needs children.
HearthSong– Wonderful toys, games & crafts. You won’t find most of these at Toys R Us!
What are your favorite catalogs?
