Yes, RR is a great resource, and insect killer. :) Heart of Dakota -- love the book lists Christian Liberty Press -- love the games at the back Veritas Press -- love thinking that my kids would actually sit still for all of that;) Seriously -- everything gets my mind going.

swellmomma Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 My biggest budget buster catalogue is from Canadian home education resources, but I also like all the spectrum catalogues and have a huge wist list from them, and a an even bigger wish list from the Acorn Naturalists catalogue. I love the rainbow resource catalogue too, but can't get it until I order something and have not placed an order for a while with them.

I read WinterPromise front to back....and back to front.....and front to back....again and again! I think I have memorized every catalog for the last 3 years! Starting to do the same now for Sonlight! So, now you all are getting me intrigued with HOD and TOG!!!

LauraQ Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Oh LOL I am right there with you!! Here's my biggest tempters: - Memoria Press: I LOVE getting this one in the mail, and when a new one comes, my family knows I'm lost to them until I've read all the new articles. I still can't wait to have the free time to do some of the stuff I've missed from this catalog once the kids are graduated. - Veritas Press: We used SL in the early years, but VP was always calling to me. At the time it was too pricey for us, and required too much prep work on my part. Now we use Omni II for dd and next year *gushing joy* we'll be using Omni I and III for the kids! I also love their parent resource selections and have bought several of them. - Home Science Tools: I've become something of a science supplies junkie lately. Fortunately, dh is a scientist and didn't bat an eye when I purchased a complete distillation set up! I bought WAY more dissection specimens than dd really needs this year, but ds and I are happy to have the extras and leftovers! *gush* - Institute for Excellence in Writing: The recent addition of phonics materials even has me swooning, and my youngest is 13!! I can't help it. I've got TWSS and SWI-C and can't wait to get the SCS and HSE ones! I love all those source collections, and we ADORE our Poetry Memorization book.
