Freebie of the Month from NotebookingPages.com: Spring Pages for Mom's Home Journal

From NotebookingPages.com:

"Inside this sampling, you'll find pages I am using in my own Home Journal... You'll find cover and spine art for your notebook as well as some of the basic templates I use for Menu Planning, Financial Record Keeping, and General House Cleaning (samples of how I use the templates are included). All of the pages have been decorated with fantastic spring-themed art. I have included two types of divider pages, by days of the week and by types of tasks (homeschooling, financial, business, ministry, etc.). There are also a variety of "to-do" type pages, calendar pages, journal pages, & more."

Free Dover Teacher's Sampler

I have been a fan of Dover Publications ever since I discovered their series of historical paper dolls as a girl. As a mother now I appreciate the hundreds of wonderful titles they offer that are just right for homeschooling families.

Dover offers a weekly free e-mail sampler for teachers that includes pages from their many books for children. Pages include brain-teasers, science projects, stories and poems, nature illustrations, coloring pages and more. They also offer special sales for teachers. Click here to sign up.

Please note that Dover is not a Christian company and not all of their books are edifying. They do carry books that I would not recommend, so please be cautious as you peruse their catalog.
