Homeschool Library Builder: A Review

If you ever visit our house you will quickly realize that we love books in our family! It is evident by the fact that we always have more books around than we have bookshelf space for. And that's okay with me, because I have no plans to stop investing in our home library.

Not only do we buy new books but also one of our favorite ways to add to our home library is with used books. We definitely like a good book bargain! That's why I was happy to find the Homeschool Library Builder website. This is a great resource for finding books that you need or just want for your home library--at a great price!

They offer books in so many different categories, such as: fiction, non-fiction, activity books, classics, inspirational, science, vintage, and much more. You can also search by curriculum and while not every curriculum is represented, they offer books for Ambleside, Beautiful Feet, Five in a Row, Heart of Dakota, Sonlight, and Tapestry of Grace. I also enjoyed browsing their page of homeschool links, too.

They offer free membership to their site which gives you, among other things, the opportunity to take advantage of their Membership Rewards Program and their Share the Savings Program.

Right now they are offering 25% off all items for the month of May! What a great deal!

If you're like I am and already have your punch list of curriculum and books needed for the upcoming school year, then head over to Homeschool Library Builder to check out the savings!

The Making of an Egyptian Death Mask

We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat

1st Day Back to {home}School, Among Other Things

We did it! We finally got unpacked enough and got our new learning room organized enough to start back to school! Frankly, I was starting to get worried...ha Today went very well though. So far I am extremely pleased with our new curriculum choices for math and language arts. Now, if I could just actually get some lesson planning done... And get the finishing touches done in the learning room, so I can blog it! In other news, it has been a bit of a traumatic week...pet-wise. Last weekend a sweet friend (who had asked my permission beforehand) brought the kiddos their very own little fish tank with two goldfish. Well, on Sunday we noticed that The Princess' fish was pretty lethargic...dead, actually. She was sad, but she handled it fairly well. And we went to the store that evening and let her pick out a new goldfish. Well, today during our school time~the fish tank is in our learning room~we noticed Mr. B's fish was acting funny. And then he was dead. It was a

Door Hanger Chore Charts

My kids have had a chore chart for a while. It's one of those magnetic boards and they share it. However, it's not by their rooms and often they (and I) forget to update it. Plus it's a little bulky. When I saw the concept of a door hanger chore chart on Pinterest, I loved it! It was compact, right there were the kiddos could see it coming out and going into their rooms, and it costs almost nothing to make. I headed over to one of my favorite stores: Hobby Lobby, of course. They have these little wooden door hangers for .79. I also grabbed a couple of packets of decorative buttons for $1.99 each. I already had the clothes pins and the paint so those cost me nothing. I began by painting the door hangers (I used tempera paints because that's what I had). Then I grabbed a fine point Sharpie and the clothes pins and started writing chores on them, making sure to write them correctly so they will clip on the right direction. The left
