I'd love to be able to do that for my kids, but honestly God hasn't granted me the grace to do that yet. The sale sounds great. The lines look like the ones we encounter at the (rubber)stamp conventions we have here in orange cone, Ohio. So much excitement, so many deals! I am a wish-I-could-say-I was-a-homeschool-mom.

I went to two used curriculum sales this year. I'm convinced lots of people around here use Abeka after those. I am not an Abeka fan. But, I did find some good books on the Library Builders table. Your sale looks like alot more fun. Sounds fun. I went to two used curriculum sales this year. I’m convinced lots of people around here use Abeka after those. I am not an Abeka fan.

Sounds like an awesome sale. I've got a pile of books on the table here to mark up for sale for our little sale here in Ohio; nothing like what you have though. As for curriculum, I'm a Sonlight believer all the way. We also use Daily Grams, and this year, we're going to try NOEO science and Latina Christiana. Wow! Sounds like an awesome sale.

Have finished homeschooling my kids but love to see what the current crop of homeschoolers are doing. We loved KONOS and bought it before they had a teaching manual! Just the big book with lots of ideas of things to do with various topics. We moms had to put together a teaching curriculum to use it. We started a KONOS co-op and had so much fun! Back then we had to scrape and scrounge for material 'cause ABeka and Bob Jones wouldn't even sell to homeschoolers and there just wasn't much out there. (I bought my first curriculum "under the table" through a local Christian school.) By the time my youngest graduated from homeschool high school she'd been participating all through high school in a co-op for the subjects I was a little intimidated to try teaching (math, math and more math for starters). She and some others put together a REAL yearbook, had a prom, had seminars and things Just For Homeschoolers. So many wonderful opportunities these days! Wow!
