Thrift Schooling

Let's celebrate! Thousands of homeschoolers access the content on Thrift Schooling monthly, and I appreciate each and every one of you helping me to get the word out. Whether it's a giveaway, review, or resource, I am grateful for the response this blog has been receiving. So, THANK YOU! With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I wanted to show my readers (that's you!) some love by giving away a gift card from one of my favorite homeschool resource centers— Timberdoodle . If you have yet to be introduced to this wonderful company, let me be the first! Filled with a wide variety of hands-on educational toys, manipulatives, and homeschool resources, this site has everything you need to homeschool your children from birth to graduation. Pick and choose different materials throughout the year as you need them, or buy a premade kit filled with the essentials and more.

  If you were following the Thrift Steading launch this past August, you may remember when I introduced you to Farmhouse Devotions: God's Glory in the Ordinary  by Cheryl Schuermann . In case you missed it, you can read my review to get up to speed!  This devotional captured my heart in an unbelievable way because of its relatability. If you homestead or live on a farm—or know someone that does—then this is the stocking stuffer you need. (Yes, I give you permission to get a stocking stuffer for yourself !) Even if you live in the middle of a bustling city, but enjoy snuggling up on the couch reading Charlotte's Web or  Anne of Green Gables with your kids to be whisked away to a rural escape, this book will do the same. Grab your coffee and your Bible and get ready to enter a world where hard work is rewarded in simple, beautiful, and satisfying ways.  I am pleased to share with you that the author has generously offered not one, but two copies for me to give a...

  Here are some unique Christmas gift ideas that you probably didn't know you needed! If you have seen seed cards around, this is your chance to pick up (or win a couple). I make these cards completely from scratch, creating my own pulp from all of those curriculum catalogs I get in the mail, after my kids have gone through and circle what they wanted—Sears catalog-style. I love curling up on the couch with a hot drink in hand and smiling at everything my kids want. At least what they want is educational! Since we use wood heat, I used to save them for fire starter but you only need so much fire starter each winter. And what about when it isn't winter? I'll admit that I've been known to line the walking paths in between garden rows with the pages to help keep down the weeds, effective but not the most ascetically pleasing.  When I was in college, I found a papermaking book in the library, went back to my dorm and tried it out. I was hooked. I forgot about it until a few...
