____ My Favorite Places to Get Books _____
- Local Library - I realize this isn't an option for everyone, but I heavily utilize our library.
- Better World Books - I love what this company stands for. You can buy used or new books from small bookstores, and support getting books in the hands of those who need them. What more could you ask for? betterworldbooks.com
- Thrift Books - They offer a massive selection of used books. Earn free shipping with purchases of $10 or more as well as points you can use on future purchases. thriftbooks.com
- Book Outlet - I often get the BEST deals by shopping at Book Outlet. They offer discount pricing on new books in great condition. They often have sales on top of their already low prices, and you can earn rewards to redeem on coupons for future purchases. This link gives you a $10 coupon to use on your first order of $25 or more. (I'll get a $10 coupon too!). Shipping is always free for orders over $35. bookoutlet.com/Loyalty/Referral?raf=LsWiurDY&c=url
- Amazon - Use smile.amazon.com and a percentage of every purchase you make will be donated to the local or national organization you chose.
Hi! I’m Laura, homeschooling mom to three. I’m excited to share our homeschooling journey with you. We tend to follow a child led unit study approach to homeschooling. While I pull from many educational philosophies, if I had to pick one way to describe our homeschool, it would be Braveschooling (based on Julie Bogart's book "Brave Learner"). The thing about home education though, is that each family and life stage are so different. No two homeschools look the same. My hope is that by sharing my journey, I can offer support, encouragement, and inspiration to help you think outside the box to create a dynamic homeschool experience tailored to your family.
