But...after my last 2 posts I will forgive you if you do not believe me! So anyway...guess what I did today?
Yep...I dragged Joshua and Andrew (day off~working 4 10 hr days right now!) to a USED CURRICULUM SALE! It was AMAZING! ...and oh so hot...no air conditioning and hundreds of women searching for their wish list items.
I had never been to a curriculum sale. Luckily, when I figured out what it was I sent Andrew back to the car to grab one of our cloth grocery store bags! We had to wait in line to get in and then when they finally opened the doors it was a huge crazy scene. There were table after table of "vendors" selling their no longer wanted curriculum and other homeschooling items. (in a gym)
So, are you wondering what I got? I spent under $20.
2 World of Language books by Ruth Heller
(from my list! .50/piece! most of the books were $.50)4 Henry and Mudge books by Cynthia Rylant
2 Magic Tree house by Mary Pope Osborne
Many of the following are from the sonlight curriculum lists that I DROOL over!

Ooh, I was looking for that geography A to Z book!
Love it! Talk about being in the right place at the right time - even if you didn't mean to :-)
Oh, PS - yes, it is the Artisan in 5 bread recipe. I don't have the book, I just use the Mother Earth News article/recipe. But, the book is on my wish list. And I answered the laundry question on my blog tonight.
Best Wishes,
Kara
Oh, and had to say, I love Ruth Heller's books! Way to go especially on those :-)
Best Wishes!

You can borrow it!

Have you seen Soulemama's Whooo bread recipe? I am searching for a good recipe that is NOT for a breadmaker. I had a hard time reading through the artisan one but I think I may check our library for the book! I like that you just make the dough and use it when you need it!
And the Heller books are amazing!
Thanks for the help!
I know...I sometimes think I should go by my real name...now that I'm brave enough to post pictures of my kids and all...
And thanks for the offer to borrow that book...though I seriously want to own that book someday!
Oh, and I do have a few bread recipes that do not require a bread machine...but seriously, you should look for a bread machine at at garage sale. It's so convenient!
