This giveaway has now ended. Thanks for entering!
In order to celebrate the launch of our network this week, the Simple Living Media editors thought some giveaways were in order! And not just one, mind you, but each and every blog in the simple living family is hosting a giveaway today.
Trust me, you are going to want to enter them ALL.
Here on Simple Homeschool, some amazing sponsors have helped us put together an incredible package for one lucky winner. That’s right, one winner will receive all the items listed below.
Let’s take a look!
Imagine Childhood
Imagine Childhood believes that children should experience the world through their own eyes, ears, fingers, and toes. That direct interaction with nature is the best way to learn about the world, and that open-ended imaginative play is the best way to learn about what it could be.
All the lovely items in their store reflect that ethos. If there’s one place a homeschooling parent can go to get inspired, this is it!
The winner of this giveaway will receive a $50 gift certificate to Imagine Childhood!
Peace Hill Press
Peace Hill Press works to make classical education possible for parents, teachers, and students. In their store you’ll find history, literature, and homeschooling helps designed to train the minds of the next generation.
Peace Hill Press carries the well-known Story of the World series by Susan Wise Bauer. These texts help history come alive for young minds.
The winner of this giveaway will receive the entire Story of the World Volume 1 (Ancient Times) Combo Pack. This includes one copy of the revised paperback text, one copy of the bound Activity Book, and one copy of the Test and Answer Key.
Flipflops and Applesauce
Flipflops and Applesauce is the work of artist Chrissie Rouse. At her blog she encourages families to “let the phone go unanswered and let the beds go unmade. Instead, steal those moments to sit side-by-side, play face-to-face, create, read and just be together.”
I love that advice! And with her innovative homemade coloring books, Chrissie’s given families one way to spend that quality time. These e-books feature coloring pages on everything from numbers to shapes.
Chrissie is giving the winner a downloadable copy of each of her coloring books–six in total!
BusyBodyBook
With BusyBodyBook planners, managing your time is a breeze! BusyBodyBook family calendars provide each family member with their own column to organize and track their schedules and activities while coordinating with each other side by side.
I appreciate that these organizers are also versatile. You can assign spare columns to household projects, babysitter instructions, meal planning, personal goals, holiday or vacation preparations, important clients, kid’s school subjects or extracurricular activities.
Perfect for a homeschooling family!
Today’s winner will receive one one BusyBodyBook planner to help you get organized.
Steady Days
And just for fun, I’m also happy to include my newly released book Steady Days: A Journey Toward Intentional, Professional Motherhood.
Steady Days is divided into four sections: getting organized, retaining enthusiasm, learning together, and making memories.
The book takes you through the process of becoming a professional mother: one who is excited to spend time with your young children. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a lack of direction in your parenting, Steady Days can help.
The winner will receive one signed copy!
Valued at over $175, this giveaway package is sure to put a huge smile on one lucky reader’s face.

6 Ways to Banish the Winter Homeschooling Blues
Getting to hang out with my kids!

I’m starting homeschool with my son who is 4 in September. I’m excited about helping him learn about the world and nurturing his natural talents. He loves music and nature and I’m excited to expand on those interests and help him find new ones.
I’m a subscriber!!!
I am excited about this new blog:) And I subcribed through Google reader.
I would love to be entered in the drawing. What I love most about homeschooling is the flexibility. On a day when things go not as planned, we can change things. When the weather is bad at 6:30 am and the poor neighboorhood kids are up and on buses, my kids are sleeping soundly. When they discover something for the first time in learning, I can share it with them. We can talk about God during our days, always without consequence. Mostly, I just like these kids. I love them. They are so much fun!

I am posting about it today on my blog http://www.christasterken.wordpress.com
Thanks for 3 chances each!

What I love about homeschooling? Where do I start? I love learning right along with my kids and sharing in the joy of new experiences and knowledge.

I love the chance to daily see the growth in my children

The pace of home schooling and family time are the greatest joys. I also believe the ability to go after children’s interests and strengths are wonderful. But nothing tops teaching them about the Lord.

I will finally be able to start homeschooling in about a year and a half! But I love watching my child achieve and grow!
I’m in high school and I used to be a public school student, so I know exactly why I love homschooling: I don’t have to wait for the rest of the class to keep up, I can go at my own pace; I have the ability to learn what I want, when I want; and most importantly — I don’t have to wake up early.

What a great new resource for the homeschooling community {and for those who are considering homeschooling, or who want to be intentional about educating their children at home, regardless of their formal educational vehicle of choice}! I am currently the mama of an infant, however I was homeschooled and I plan to homeschool my little guy! I love the flexibility homeschooling provides – flexibility to learn in a manner that suits the particular child, to do school in a fun, interesting, sometimes unconventional fashion, to let life teach!
My daughter, who loves kindergarten, has asked to be homeschooled next year. I’m trying to read everything I can about it. I subscribed by RSSOwl.
I love the flexibility and getting to tailor their education for them.
