FYI: Recommendations

I do not make a profit from any recommendations that I make. 

I'm just telling you what I do/use or find for FREE.

I'm not product pushing. 

Just sharing:)

Happy homeschooling!!!

Swag Bucks

Have you heard of "Swag Bucks?"

It's an online search engine.  As you use it (to do what you already do - search the internet) you earn "Swag Bucks."  These "bucks" can be used towards a gift card or other items/purchases.

I use my points for...Amazon.com gift cards. 

Can anyone say...FREE MONEY?

FREE MONEY =

FREE CURRICULUM/BOOKS =

It gets even better  you can earn extra points by referring others.

Publisher Free Resources

If you go to a curriculum company's web site sometimes they have free online resources. 

If you hear of a "good" product.  Always head over to their website and check out what they have available.

You may be pleasantly surprised!!!

FYI: Just to let you know...

I need to get this out there...

...so here goes.

Grammar, spelling, writing has never been my strength.  I actually think that I may be dyslexic (but undiagnosed).  I flip flop letters and words all the time.  I am a product of whole language.  I didn't learn about phonics (or learn phonics for that matter) until I went to college and had to learn it for one of my education classes.  Even then I wasn't so great at it.  Thank goodness I ended up teaching kindergarten and I guess you could say I learned it with the kids....lol (but yet, not so funny when you think about it).   Grammar also just isn't my thing.  I'm not necessarily one for details.

I'm pretty sure that I'm not making the greatest impression right now...but...guess what...who cares?  I'm not one for making impressions.  What you see it what you get.  Please don't be offended by my upfrontness (that is a word right?  Ok.  I know it's not because the spell check caught it...but I love that word so it gets to stay:). 

The focus is the information!
I'm not that great with getting things right the first time (especially in writing).  I've decided that I'm not going to stress over the errors.

I just want the information out there!

As long as you can read it and it makes sense that's good enough for me.  I'm hoping that it is good enough for you.  Also...in my defense.  I do homeschool 6 kids, provide service for my church, run a house, blog, make time for myself, love my husband, and ...HAVE A LIFE.  I really don't want to spend time agonizing over my writing (yes, it can be agonizing).

So...what you see is what you get.  Use the info and don't stress about my writing imperfections.

The way I look at it is...I don't think my education was the greatest but I learned what I needed to learn to survive and I didn't turn out all that bad (I like to think)...and now I'm focusing on the education of my children.

Aahhhhh...so glad I got that off my chest!

Time to move on...

Amazon.com

Did you know that on amazon.com they have a feature where you can take a look at parts of a book...for FREE.  It's their "Look Inside!" feature.  It is only available on select books.  But, they never show you all of the book (duh). 

They'll usually show you the beginning (which may include a table of contents) and/or the ending of the book.  Sometimes they'll even show you some other random part in the center/middle.
Why is this important?

This is a great FREE way to check out the contents of a book before purchasing it. 

It will save you time and money in purchasing a book that you think you might like or want only to find out that it isn't what you really need.  Then you have to ship it back and...blah, blah, blah... you know what I mean.

Goals

#1.  Provide you with as much FREE stuff as possible (curriculum, resources, ideas, etc.).

#2.  Share great deals that seem like steals...it's the next best thing to FREE.
