Still time to vote! I appreciate it!

it doesn't show the planner on sell when I went to the site.
Enter the code MOTHER at checkout, and it adjust the amount to $5.

A day of no cooking is Awesome! And Gifts, too!

Thank you, all! Second place is fine, too. I plan to give away the Gift Certificate on my blog when I win!

Lovely quilt. I would love one like it for my bed. I voted.
I can make this quilt for you in any size and color combination. Just let me know!

The Motivated Moms Planner is $3 off through Sunday, costing a whopping $5. This is a great time to get a feel for this planner. I like it because it schedules out so many chores in a doable amount everyday and leaves the weekends almost free. It also comes in several different formats. Use the code MOTHER at checkout at Motivated Moms!

Decided to go ahead with Notgrass Exploring America, adding in MapTrek for mapping exercises, along with A Patriot's History of the United States on CD.

As an avid quilter I do NOT wash fabric. I would NEVER quilt if I had to LOL! I don't know any quilters who do.....
The lovely aspect of a quilt is after you do the quilting portion (the quilt sandwich and stitching the layers together) and wash, it fluffs up in to this crinkly goodness .
The ONLY thing I would caution is with the first wash. Use a color catcher. I have had some orange/bright color on white from Joann's bleed on to the white portion of the fabric. It has happened slightly with one line from Moda cotton, but usually the higher quality cottons wash a bit better without bleed. Happy quilting :001_smile:
ETA: For garments, or any home decor I plan to wash, I DO pre-wash, but for quilting, no.
My sentiments exactly. I, too, am an avid quilter and do exactly what lisamarie does above. Shout Color Catchers works amazingly well at "catching" color in the washer.
For fabric that I do prewash (clothing), I serge the ends with the fabric still folded together lengthwise. This makes ironing after washing SO much easier.
I have a quilt in Quilting Gallery's quilt contest this weekend. If you'd like to have a look and vote for my quilt, I'd appreciate it. May I also encourage you to not vote for others even though you have 4 votes?
Thank you!

I have a quilt in a contest hosted by the Quilting Gallery this weekend. Would you mind taking a peek and voting for my quilt {and preferably not for 4 quilts}?!? I'd love to win a gift certificate for more fabric!! :001_smile:
My quilt is named Mrs.Star. She is a queen-sized quilt and now hangs on my living room wall. This is what she looks like.
Here is where you go to vote: Quilting Gallery
You can read more about my quilts at Busy Hands Quilts.
Thank you!

I found "Journey Into Africa" on the Lamppost Publishing site, and it looks very good.
-
I should also clarify that my daughter is interested in the history more than the geography of the Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa, so I am looking for programs that emphasize history over geography.

Rod and Staff Grade 4 is a hidden gem. It is usable as a read aloud combined with Draw Write Now, for students who need something more hands on than worksheets. I'm obsessing over what to do next, but R&S 4 and DWN have been a big hit here.
I have been using this combination with both remedial adults, and children, and they all love it. You do NOT need the R&S teacher's manual, if you are using DWN. I don't even know where my TM is.
Thank you, too! The little-known gems are exactly what I am looking for, and I wouldn't have thought to look at R&S.
Any other gems out there, ladies?

If you add on the Enchantment of the World books for each country, you might find yourself not even needing another program. Your library may have them.
My library has 131 of these books! This looks like a wonderful set. Thank you very much!

My Father's World Exploring Countries and Cultures for grades 3-8
Great idea; thank you!

:bigear: Any other ideas?

We love BJU Science DVDs here and plan to use them for the remainder of our homeschooling years. Next year we'll use Science 6 and Physical Science. We have used Science 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and Biology and love them. We have done other BJU DVD classes, but my opinion is that the science DVDs are exceptional, and it would be impossible for me personally to teach or have them self-teach to such a high standard. This is perhaps the heaviest/most detailed subject in school, especially in high school, and to hear someone teach it is very beneficial to auditory and other learners, rather than just reading a textbook.
The BJU catalog lists who teaches the class, and Mrs. Dunn, Mrs. Vick, and Mr. Harmon, who teach grades 3-11, are all excellent teachers.

Years ago my mother had a hysterectomy and THEN her OB told her that her thyroid function was abnormal. She likely could have avoided surgery had her thyroid issues been addressed first. It is well documented that thyroid function, particularly low thyroid, can cause excessive menstrual bleeding.
