The Penny Pantry: Money Saving Strategies for Building a Gigantic Home Pantry for Pennies!

Here is a brand new e-book by homeschooling mother of 8, Bethany Vaughn. At 75 pages long this book is packed with information on how to drastically slash your grocery bill (thereby leaving more room in your budget for books heh, heh.;-)) while stocking a large pantry.

The book is well laid out and covers a range of ways to reduce spending from couponing (which Bethany explains in very helpful detail) to buying in bulk. I also appreciated the fact that she makes it clear that one can still eat healthy,whole foods on a small budget.

The book is currently on sale here for $9.95, but is well worth the non-sale price of $14.95 as well. Be sure to subscribe to Bethany's new blog

Books for Thanksgiving

Here is a list of recommended reading for Thanksgiving from Copper's Wife, an experienced homeschool mother and book collecter:

This is by no means an exhaustive list of children’s books about Thanksgiving, but these are a few that I will be reading to my boys and the grandbabies during the next few days.  These are all books that have a permanent home in our Heritage Library.   While this list might be a bit late to help you find some good books for this year’s Thanksgiving celebration, you’ll have it to refer to for the next year as you look for books for your own Heritage Library.

Still here!

I apologize for the long and sudden break. I struggle with severe chronic fatigue and have had a relapse over the past month. I'm afraid anything not neccessary to life has been put on hold for the time being. I will post again as I am able, Lord willing.

Thanks for your patience!

Sometimes on the Rock I tremble
Faint of heart andweak of knee,
But the Steadfast Rock of Ages
Never trembles under me.

My Audio School

My Audio School is a wonderful new site operated by a homeschooling mother :

"My Audio School exists to give children safe and easy access to classic books, interesting educational radio drama, and television and radio broadcasts of historic events. Each of the over 150 full-length books on My Audio School is displayed in such a way that the child can download the book to Mp3, read it for free online, stream the book at the touch of a button, or listen to individual chapters according to a given day’s assignment. Each book is thoughtfully “illustrated” with beautiful fine art or appropriate photos.

My Audio School also offers a large collection of over 200 radio and television broadcasts, from old-time radio theater performances based on classic books and historic events to newscasts of unforgettable moments in history.

Originally created as an aid for dyslexic students seeking self-accommodation, My Audio School has proven to be a help and a delight to students of all ages and abilities. From the emerging reader to the excelling high school student, My Audio School delivers informative, enjoyable audio content on a large variety of school subjects."

About 25% of the content on My Audio School is free with the rest available at a small yearly subscription. This beautifully done, helpful, timesaving resource is one I am greatly looking forward to using!
