For many of us, the present economy has become very restrictive to our budgets. Join us today to learn the amazing benefit of homeschool families joining together to receive steep discounts for homeschool needs. By pooling the purchasing power of our entire membership, we are able to call major educational publishers and homeschooling curriculum providers and ask for the same discounts they give school districts. And it works! Virtually every vendor will give discounts for their homeschool curriculum if they are assured adequate volumes. Join the webinar to learn how this can work for you and save you money!

Commit the Word to Their Hearts

Why bother studying creationism? Isn’t the Gospel all we need? If you have asked these questions yourself or have heard others ask them, then this short, web-based class is for you! Together we will discover that what we believe about the Creation directly affects our ability to trust the Bible
(and thus the Gospel); our stance also deeply affects how we live out our Christian faith. Because it affects the veracity of the Bible, creationism cannot be ignored by any Christian. So come share with us as we take a look at the only two positions on this issue one can take.

Dont forget today starts that TAX FREE weekend for the state of Tennessee !!!

Even though we are homeschooling, take advantage of this shopping time….. I know I am, lol……

What about you? Have you started back yet? I had planned on school starting last week but that didn’t happen, lol….

I don’t really think it is funny but with the ways things are going around here, you just have to laugh.

I decided not to stress myself out over it and just get real with it. We are not ready, I don’t have everything in order and so, I hope to start by the end of the month.

It is never good to start the new year off thinking that you are behind, you know? So that is why I am giving us till the end of the month to get started….. You know…….act like that was the plan the whole time, lol…… Yes, now I am laughing….. lol….

Well I hope to post here a whole lot better then the past year. Things are really happening around here and with TOS and I want to remember to come here and let you know as we go !

So if you are starting school now or have already have started….GOOD LUCK and May God bless your school year !

It just seems to be the right time in my life to starting things new. So how fitting for Homesteadblogger and Homeschoolblogger to be starting with something fresh and new for us.

I will be taking time to get to know things around here. Please stop often to see how I am doing, lol……
