Thrift Schooling

Moving Beyond The Page  is a homeschool curriculum geared towards gifted learners. It provides a challenging environment allowing their creativity to flourish! This program can be used as a full curriculum or you can choose to order bits and pieces and use them as unit studies. For this review, they were extremely generous and provided materials that I could use for two separate unit studies! For a literature study I received the  Charlotte's Web  unit and for science I received  Amazing Weather .   What arrived in my MAILBOX: ~ Moving Beyond the Page Catalog ~ Charlotte's Web Curriculum Plan and Worksheets ~ Charlotte's Web Paperback Book ~ On This Day in March Paperback Book ~ Weather and Climate Paperback Book ~ Thermometer What arrived in my INBOX: ~ Access code to  Amazing Weather Online Curriculum  Both of these studies are a part of a larger program designed for learners ages 7-9. The way the program is set up is there are ...

I hate mildew. It grosses me out. Not only in my bathroom, but my kitchen as well. For some reason it likes to form in the grout of my kitchen tiles and of all places, that is the worst possible, ever! I'm preparing food there so mildew is not welcome! So even before I hit the shower tiles, I put  Soft Scrub Mold and Mildew Stain Remover to the test in my kitchen! It worked right away. I was impressed. No waiting, no hard scrubing, it honestly did the work for me. It was actually kind of fun rubbing up the grime and seeing how shiny my kitchen could actually be. Then I tackled the shower. Again, sparkling clean, I would use this product again in a flash!

Who wants cleaner, brighter, shinier toilets? And all the moms said, "I DO!" Especially the moms with little boys. Yikes. Long gone are the days of cleaning the bathroom only once a week. No. Daily my kid's bathroom needs to be checked (of course I didn't say I'm always on top of that). Sometimes everything inside of me wants to avoid it because honestly, I'm scared of what I'll find. When I saw that Soft Scrub's   4-in-1 toilet care was up for review, I was excited. What I like about this toilet care product is that it fits right on the rim of the toilet, under the seat. I can't stand the ones that you have to open that heavy lid on top of the toilet. I don't know, it just seems gross to me and I'm always afraid I'm going to drop and crack it. This is much easier and you can actually see it working. Every time you flush, the water runs through the product causing it to clean, prevent build-up, prevent toilet ring and stays fresh fo...

Back in middle school we could choose to  learn a language  as one of our electives. The only choices we had to pick from were Spanish and French. Even though Spanish is more popular in our country than French, I chose French. At times it just seemed like just another class for me, not a big deal. Little did I know what the power of learning one, single, foreign language could hold. When you learn a new language, a whole new part of your brain is being used, which makes it easier to learn other languages in the future. The love for traveling developed early on in life for me and had already travelled overseas before I hit the teenage years! In high school, I had the amazing opportunity to be a part of an exchange program in France. Since then, I have traveled and spent time in close to a dozen different countries. Now even though these countries weren't French speaking, some Arabic, Telegu, Dutch and others, I honestly believe that it was easier for me to adapt in these cul...

Well, sort of. If you search for Thrift Schooling on FB then yes, you will still find our page. The problem. I no longer have access to that page. It seems as soon as I went over 2,000 followers on the fan page, things went downhill. Rapidly, my numbers began dropping. Then one day when I went to sign in to my account, I was not allowed in unless I provided some further personal information. Either,  1. My cell phone number   2. A photo copy of my ID  Believe it or not, I'm one of the few people left in the world without a cell phone. You read that right. No cell phone, and by choice. And, I refuse to send FB a copy of my ID, I mean, it's FB for goodness sakes, they certainly do not need a copy of my ID. When they requested that information, the red flags went sky high in my books and I said good-bye to that social site for good! Now how is this going to affect this blog? Good question! At first I was nervous thinking that I would not be able t...
