Welcome to today’s giveaway, sponsored by A Thomas Jefferson Education (also known as TJEd)–the educational philosophy that has revolutionized my own family’s homeschool.
From Rachel DeMille of TJEd:
“TJEd” or “Leadership Education” is a philosophy and methodology that supports personalizing education for each child’s age, gifts and learning style.
Its focus on the 7 Keys of Great Teaching and the Phases of Learning really reduce stress and magnify inspiration.
One of the tools we provide is This Week in History–a daily resource that brings your homeschool or classroom to life!”
With a subscription to This Week in History, each day’s resources are an adventure in math, science, language skills, geography, current events, the arts and so on – all tied to events in history.
For just $9.99 per month, you have the world of learning available to help you lead and inspire your students to explore, learn and excel!”
“The content is searchable by date, topic and key word, and the whole year’s archive can be accessed by subscribers at any time.

Jamie’s homeschool day in the life (with a 9, 10, & 11-year-old)
Our children are 8, 6, 4, and 1. We love this model and I would be excited to have all of these resources to help implement a true Leadership Education for our family.
I am homeschooling a 5 year old and I would like to win this package because the Thomas Jefferson education seems to be a good fit for our family.
My kids are 4, 7, and 9 and I would love to use Thomas Jefferson curricula with our homeschool!
Jess’s latest post: Pax et Bonum (and an imperfect house tour)
I homeschool my 12-year-old son now after graduating the older two. We would love to change it up and add some new items to our homeschool. My daughter would love this for her girls, too.
Southern Gal’s latest post: Multitude Monday on Tuesday and Happy Birthday to my Daddy!
Our children are 14, 12, 10, 8, (almost) 7, (almost) 4, and an almost newborn.
I would love to win because it would be a great thing to add to our homeschool
ages, 6,4,1. Leadership is why I homeschool my kids. I would love for these types of books to be at our library. With them not available I might win instead!
I like both pages on fb.
Hello…my children are 4, 6, and 8 years old and I would like to win this package because it would be a huge blessing educationally, as well as financially. Our own family philosophy on education blends very well with the Thomas Jefferson approach. Thank you! 🙂
I am very interested in this, first year homeschooling 6 and 4 year old.
I homeschool my 7and 3 year old daughters and would love to win because who couldn’t use more homeschool help!
My daughter is 10, and I’d like to win this because I can’t think of a single product that would better fill in the gaps in her education!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win this great giveaway!
Our children are 7,5,2, 5mo, and this package would be such a blessing on our homeschool!
I liked both pages on Facebook. Thanks!
We have a 5 and 7 year old. I would love, love, love the Option 1 as I have many of their books and would love both the inspiration each week and the mentoring in the classics as I’m delving into our own and loving it. I’m also using A Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe for our math inspiration after listening to their discussion about it.
My child is 14 years old and this package sounds wonderful. I would like to try something new this coming year and based on the information and reviews, this would be great! Thank you!
My children are 7, 5, and 3. I’d love to win this because we love history as a family – This Week in History sounds like such a fun way to integrate history into our homeschool journey. We have been at it for a year – I’m very interested in learning more about how I can move away from requiring and start inspiring more.
My sons are 8, 7 and 4 and I’d love to win this because I think it would help the kids grasp history events – and enjoy history more than they currently are!
I liked both Thomas Jefferson and Simple Homeschool on FB!
I am a science and maths educator for kids aged 14 and above.This giveaway would help me immensely in my teaching enabling me to connect the concepts taught in context to their development in history.This would help my students form a bigger picture….
Also I plan to homeschool my future kids God willing .
I’ve already liked both your Facebook pages for a while. This Giveaway is incredible and thank you for continuing to share TJE and your powerful introvertness with us Jamie.
My two left at home are 12 almost 13, and 9. I’d love to have option 2. What a tremendous offer!!! I’m very interested in the TJEd.
I had already liked Simple Homeschool on Facebook and now I’ve liked Thomas Jefferson Education and I have elected to receive notifications and follow both! Thanks for letting me know about this.
My children are 6, 9, and 11 years old. Bundle 1 would be my choice. I love the idea of incorporating various subject areas into an engaging weekly history lesson!
Monique B.’s latest post: Nature by the Numbers: January 2015
My Kids are 7 and 12. We need this because school is boring and we need to stop doing school at home and start learning for real life.
Hello,
Our children are 4 years of age and we would love to use these materials in our homeschool.
Thanks,
Anita
My kids are ages 7, 5 and 3. I am currently working through the 7 keys certification and think the this week in history and mentoring in the classics series would greatly help my family love learning and would further invovle my husband in our home studies.
I have two boys ages 4 and 8. We have been unschooling because they both resist workbooks, curricula & any attempt I make at “teaching” (i.e. doing school at home). However, the 8 yr old is ready for more structure. I started doing All About Spelling with him & we both enjoy it. I think a Thomas Jefferson Leadership education could be just what we need.
My sons are 4 and 7 and I already have two of the books….the home companion one and the stages of learning one…in fact they are in my suitcase right next to me! I am devouring what I’m reading….it really speaks to me and I know that this is the core of what I want to incorporate into how I raise and teach my kids. I am a newbie…just inspired by this blog and by so many of the stories I read here and although we are not currently homeschooling, I feel like all the time we are with our kids IS inspired by homeschooling philosophies, and when the time is right I know we will be doing this with our kids. Thanks for all the help and inspiration you have given me! I feel so lucky to have had my eyes open to another way of living a life and raising kids (off the conveyor belt ….even if that belt is a good one!) …..anyway thanks again!
My children are 6 and 9. I have never heard of this program untill today, but it sounds like a wonderful fit for our family. Finding good programs like this is challenging for us we would love to give this one a try.
Daughter is 12. I have wanted to try this for a while now. free bundle would get me started.
My 6, almost 7 year old would enjoy the variety. We don’t do a formal history yet. I’m very interested!
Dawn
My children are 12 and 15. We are involved with Classical Conversations and I believe this would be a wonderful addition to their learning there. I have wanted to explore this further for some time. Thanks for offering this giveaway!
My boys are 1 & 3 and we are just starting out homeschooling preschool. We’d love option two as we are still gathering all the tools and information to figure this homeschooling thing out!
Our kids are 8, 5, and 2…We’d love to win because while we’ve read the TJEd books, we don’t own any. They are certainly keepers!
P.S. We’re reading (and loving!) Little Britches aloud right now!

kortney’s latest post: Just in Time for Lent: A New Blog!
I have 2 boys: 2 years and 12 years.
We’ve been homeschooling for 2 years and are needing some curriculum adjustments. I’m very interested in the leadership education model and think this might refresh what we are doing.
I like both sites on Facebook!
My kids are 9, 8 and 6 and we are just starting home school on our own after 4 years at a hybrid school where we used a set curriculum and had to follow a strict schedule. We’re excited to be on our own schedule this year and eager to try some new curriculum and programs, so we’d love this package to help us branch out and learn new things.
My kids are 6, 4, 2, and due in February. This sounds wonderful for helping my children to fall in love with history! Thank you.
Elizabeth’s latest post: Why?
And I have “liked” both pages on FB. Thanks for the giveaway!
Elizabeth’s latest post: Why?
My kids are 10, 9, 6 and 1. To stay within a budget, we try to use as much free curriculum as we can find. Winning a free bundle would be wonderful for us. I’ve read a little about a Thomas Jefferson Education and would love to try it. Thanks!
My daughter is 8 years old and has a passion for history, so I am so interested in the “This Week in History” concept. We are loosely following a Waldorf curriculum which doesn’t really tackle history until older grades, and this sounds like it would fit in perfectly to nourish her fascination with history, bit by bit. Thank you for this opportunity!
I homeschool my 9 year old daughter. I started out with a structured, scripted, boxed curriculum because it was safe. At a homeschool convention a TJED speaker was the keynote. My husband walked out saying that was it, this was what we needed. I panicked and he backed off. I have left the box since then but know this is where we are supposed to be. I would like this because it would allow us to jump in now to where we should have been 4 years ago.
Michelle’s latest post: Giveaway: $300 package from A Thomas Jefferson Education
My daughter is 12 and loves history. We would love “This Week in History” and the TJE materials. Thank you for the opportunity.
My kids are 5, almost 3, and 10.5 months. I would love to win the TWIH and MIC package. I love and use the principles of Leadership Education in my homeschool and this package would help me work on “You, Not Them” and to “share what is mine” and get my kids excited about learning while they are sti young and in Core Phase. I already have most of the Deluxe Bundle materials, so I would love the subscriptions!
My son is 9 and I HS a 15 yo girl.
We have started incorporating the TJEd approach but the bundle would really help me get things underway.
Thanks so much!
Our son is 8.
I have been reading about Tjed…and am very intrigued with the philosophy. My child lovessels to learn, yet gets frustrated with school. …
My boys are 8 and 5. I’ve been learning about the Thomas Jefferson approach and think it would be a perfect fit for our homeschool. Thanks!
I already “like” both Simple Homeschool and TJEd on Facebook.
My kids are 5, almost 8, 9, and 10. We are planning to begin homeschooling in the fall. We’ve had a lot of change in the past few years so finishing the school year in their public school seems important for the time. This sounds great because I would love the kiddos to understand and love history! This style also seems to fit their personalities well!
I liked Thomas Jefferson Education and Simple Homeschool on Facebook! Thanks for this great resource!
My son is 12 years old. I would love to win this giveaway because Thomas Jefferson’s educational philosophy has always been an inspiration in how we homeschool.
I liked both Thomas Jefferson Education and Simple Homeschool on Facebook.
I have been wanting this for my homeschool for like ever. I have a 13 yrs old and a 9 yrs old. It will be so great to win this.
I have one son left at home. He is in 8th grade. I would love to win this for him to study. I also have 4 grandchildren that are homeschooling.
My children are 10 and 7 and I am interested in trying out bundle 2, to see if this allows me the flexibility I need to meet them where they are.
Nicola’s latest post: good bye, 2014. hello, 2015
I have liked both facebook pages. Love them.
I liked both Thomas Jefferson Education and Simple Homeschool on Facebook.
I have a 7 and a 5 year old right now, and we are just starting out with TJEd. I have just started the certification program, but I would love more resources so I can learn how to do it well.
I like both Simple Homeschool and Thomas Jefferson Education on fb.
My kids are 8, 7, 5, 3, and 1.5. I would love to win especially for the Dad bundle. My husband teaches one day a week and I think a resource just for him would be wonderful!
My son is almost 9 and my daughter is 7. We love history and living books as a family and oh my goodness you’ve opened my eyes to the Thomas Jefferson education and I can hear the passion that it brings to homeschool families all over. It would be an honor to teach with these tools… Either way I adore your blog and pray for your family. We would be beyond blessed to win:-) Thank you!!
Kids are 4 and 9. I’d love to win because we are new to homeschooling, and trying to figure out what curriculum to use!
My daughter is 7 and from what I have read the TJed philosophy seems like a perfect match for both of us.
I have twin 6-year-olds and a baby. I’m intrigued by Tjed. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I’d love to win this as I have recently been researching all about TJed for my home schooled kiddos, ages 11, 8, and 3. Our educational philosophy has evolved more to this style over the past 2 years. 🙂 I liked both Simple Homeschool and Thomas Jefferson Education on FB. Thanks!
My kiddos are 5, 9, 13. We have been inspired by Leadership Education and would like to know more. Thanks.
My children are 12, 13,14 and I want to try because we are french and we can practice our english comprehension. thank you
My children are 5 and 8 years old. I would love to win this bundle and have an opportunity to incorporate these amazing TJED resources into our homeschool.
My girls are 6 & 8 and my youngest figures things out naturally. She is an amazing observer and surprises me all the time. For example when she was four she asked me mom is 2 & 2=4? I was blown away. We had never done any math w her yet. I believe this curriculum will be well suited for her and help my other also expand her horizon of learning and imagination.
My children are 4 and 2, and I love This Week in History – there is just so much information there!
My girls are 4 and 6 years old. I loved DeMille’s book – read it last Fall – and it was a big inspiration. Thanks for the chance to win Jamie.
I would LOVE to win this! I have a 6 year old and 12 year old (both boys) – we are getting burned out on boxed curriculum but do not have funds to try something different. This looks like just the type of thing to reignite our fires.
I have two sons, Oskar, 10 and Arlo 6. We are new to homeschooling this year, and excited and inspired by the wonderful resources Simple Homeschool has provided to us. Our unschooling approach seems aligned with The TJEd philosophy and methodology, so winning this would be a great opportunity for us to broaden our homeschooling adventures. We are currently learning about our “founding fathers”, so this would be the icing on the cake! Thanks for the opportunity.
I’d love to win this for my 5 and 6 year old. As an international homeschooler it is a challenge to get resources so this package would be of great benefit to us!
9, almost 7, and 5. We’re revising how we school, and I’d love to learn more about the TJ approach. I think my kids would like the first package best!
This is a wonderful giveaway.
My children are 7, 4, and 1. I would love to win this bundle and be able to incorporate these great ideas into our homeschool life! Thanks!
I have a nine year old and a one year old. The TJ philosophy has always resonated with us. Thanks for the giveaway!
I already liked Simple Homeschool on FB, but now I like TJ Education, too!
My girls are 7 years old. We would love to win this because…
….we just began homeschooling in Sept. of last year, and are still experimenting with styles and curriculum. This would be a great way to really understand the TJ style!!
My Children are 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, and 1. We love any and all things learning! This package would be fantastic. 🙂
salve,Our children are 14, 11 and 8 years old.
we start to homeschool last year and we are looking for new and interesting types of learning. I’m very interessted in TJ education/learning and it would be great to incorporate all this new things in our life.
thanks for this oppotunity.
claudia
My kids are 11, 10, 8, 7, 5, and 4 years old. I love resources that are simple, yet engaging. I have always personalized my childrens education and this sounds like a great resource. It will be so hard to choose which prize!
I have four children ages 10,almost 8, 6, and 3 1/2/ I have read the sample ebooks and talked to friends who adore TJEd. I would like to win this sample package because it would be the push I need to learn more about TJEd…my hope is that it will solve the feeling I have that my kids and I are just going through the motions rather than experiencing true learning. There’s no passion with what we are learning and not enough connection between us as a family and what we are learning. If I win this….the cost I have been putting off won’t be a factor anymore so I can stop dragging my feet and jump in!

I already “Like” both Simple Homeschool and A Thomas Jefferson Education. Thanks, again, for this opportunity. Off to herd the cats.
I liked both Thomas Jefferson Education and Simple Homeschool on Facebook. Thanks again!
My boys are almost five and 7. I’ve been curious about the ideas in the TJE, and I’d love to be able to read more about it and to try something new in our homeschool. I think this is one of the reasons why I enjoy your blog so much—you have such a different way of structuring your kids education than what I’ve been doing.
My kids are 5, 10, and 11 and we are always interested in trying new curriculum packages.
I am homeschooling #5 of 5 and only since 5th grade. She is now almost 15 and in the 9th grade! This has been quite an experience! I’ve only recently become acquainted with TJ Ed tho’ and find it fascinating! I also “liked” TJ Ed on Facebook and had “liked” Simple Homeschool some time ago. : )

My kids are 13, 10, 9, 7, 3, 3, 21 months and 4 months – we were introduced to Thomas Jefferson education through your site and are still learning about implementing! Love this model and would love to win!
My boys are in the 6th, 2nd and Kindergarten along with a 2 year old, we would love this, I also liked simple homeschool and Thomas Jefferson on facebook.
My kids are 10 and 3. I like the idea of “This Week In History” and can see it being really fun for my kids. My 10 year old loves history and science. He would love this. Thanks!
My girls are 11 and 13. The Week in History has always interested me…I’m not sure why I haven’t tried it yet! I also think the reading recommendations and comprehension suggestions might be helpful as well!
This is awesome!! I am currently in the middle of the book Leadership Education and enjoying it so far!
My kids are 5 & 7 and I love homeschool resources that are full of common sense and practical application–these seem to fit that bill!

My kids are 6, 2 1/2 and 12 weeks in utero! As baby #3 approaches, we are planning to begin homeschooling. I have been very intrigued by the Thomas Jefferson approach and impressed by the materials I have seen. What I have read and seen so far makes me think it is the best choice for our family. This would be an amazing opportunity to get started. Thanks!
I have six, blessed with all girls, ages 13, 8, 8, 7, 5, and 13 months. We are a dynamic and active family that, for all of our colorfulness, needs points of focus to complete our educational rubric. We are a bit scattered. I really like your sample of Thoreau’s teaching. I have often lived by his maxim “You must first stand to live before you can sit down to write.” I’ve lived much and it has been time to sit and focus for a while now. After all so much of homeschooling and being a parent is keeping ourselves in check. Thanks so much for stepping out there and putting this together.
I have 5 children, and would love to try this, have always wanted to, just never in the budget…..
oops, and my children’s ages are 7, 10, 12, 13, 17.
I have ‘liked’ and liked Simple Homeschooling on Facebook for a while and ‘liked’ Thomas Jefferson Education today.
🙂
My boys are 8,7,4, and newborn. I would love to win because it would give is something new to be excited about after this newborn break!
I already like simple homeschool on Facebook and shared the link!
2 kiddos, ages 10& 11. I would enjoy winning as this could be a great tool to use in our homeschool lessons.
I have “liked” both of the FB pages listed above.
My kids are 14, 11, 9, & 5. I have wanted to get TWIH for many years! I am excited it is an option for this giveaway! (Plus I have most of the books & such from the other option!) Thanks!!

My kids are 6, 4, and 2. This Week in History sounds amazing! I think it would really enhance my daughter’s education. 🙂
My kiddos are 6 and 8 and I would love to win this package because we are just beginning our homeschool journey and it would be a great way to start!
My kids are 5, 3.5, and 10 months. This is our first year homeschooling kindergarten and still trying to find our homeschool style. This would be perfect for us!
im not on fb, but i started following tjed blog! 🙂
my boys are ages 4, 2, and newborn, and i am highly interested in pursuing a tjed with them.
My daughter is 5 and looking at starting “real” school next year. At the moment this looks like enrolling her in school but I’ve always wanted to homeschool. I’d love to win this to have a starting point to share with my husband (who is afraid of homeschooling in Italy where we live).
I’ve also liked Simple Homeschool and TJE on Facebook 🙂
Age 15. He loves history. He love to learn.
My kiddos are 5, 3, and a newborn. We are pretty new to homeschooling, and this would be a great addition for us!
My children are 8 and 10, we could all use a little more TJed inspiration!
My kiddos are 11 & 12! I’ve read the 7 keys and felt inspired myself, we’d love to have the history addition in our home! I liked both pages on facebook! Thank you!
My children, who are 8 & 11 years old, absolutely love history and would really enjoy this package! Since learning more about the TJEdu philosophy we have found that it melds well with our family’s educational goals & style. Thanks for enriching our homeschool with great information!
My kids are 18 months, 3, 6, and 8. We are new to homeschooling and trying to implement the TJed philosophy in our family. I would love the extra resources to enrich our journey!
I like both pages on Facebook as well (Kendall White Manwill)
My boys are 13,11 and9. We would love to win bundle one because history is one of our favorites,but the monthly price is out of our range! I have read your books,and love the Facebook community,we would feel so blessed just to be able to have access to this day in history!!! Thx for the opportunity…….
9, 8, 6, 4, 2 and baby on the way. I’ve been looking for ways to make history more meaningful, and teaching it in a way all the kids can learn together. Thanks!
7, 6, 5 year olds. I would love to be able to integrate this meaningful history information into our homeschool day!
I “liked” Simple Homeschool & TJE on FB! thanks again 🙂
12, 10, 8, 6, 3 and 1
We are falling in love with TJed and would really appreciate more resources in our home.
Hi Jamie!
My children are 7, 6, 5, and 2. I’d really like to win this TJEd give away because it’s a philosophy I believe in and I was glad to discover something similar to my own intuitions. The Classics and “You not Them” especially hit home with me.
My kids are 10, 9, 4, and 2! We would love this resource because it looks like so much fun and we haven’t spent much time on history this year. I like your fb page, too! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
My children are 12 & 13. I want them to learn to be responsible and liberty minded adults. Would love to be able to use this wonderful information.
Great giveaway. Our children are 12, 10 and 7.
5 & 7. After reading your book “A TJEd”, and instituting some of what I read there, my boys have really responded, and I’d like to take it to the next level and do this for real. Thanks!
I’ve liked both TJED and SH on fb, thanks!
My children are 6 and 2. I would love to find a resource so that has my 6 year old doesn’t feel like the work is burdensome, as would I. Thank you for considering us.
Our girls are 9 and 5. I would love this set because I have read about Thomas Jefferson and would love more resources and information. Also, we have been looking for more support in the avenue of encouraging natural learning and not just forcing our kids to do something because it’s in a series or curriculum. We want life-long learners.
I liked both on Facebook and shared this post! Thanks!
My kids are 8 and 10. My son loves history, so I’d love to win the This Week in History aspect of the giveaway. And, I always like to consider new resources!
My children 10 8 and 5. I would love to win this! We just started homeschooling this year and have not fount the right thing yet I was reading about Thomas Jefferson Education learning theory the other day and thought that’s was we need!
My children are 10, 12, and 15. I just finished reading TJEd over Christmas “break” and am working my way through TJEd for teens. Would love to have the Option 1 package to assist on this journey. I have heard Oliver speak a few times and want to say thanks for such a wonderful opportunity.
Have “liked” Simple Homeschool for a longtime and am on the closed TJEd site, but added the public one. Thanks again!
MY child is 9 years old. We would love to have the full year subscription as we already have the first 2 TJeD’s books. It would help us with our eclectic learning style, on a daily weekly schedule. We need some inspiration for jumpstarting our learning after the Holidays. Thank You.
My girls are an almost 6, 3, 2, and 4 months. I’ve been following TJED for some time and really enjoy their approach to education. Would love to win so that I can get my girls started on this learning track.
I’ve already “liked” Thomas Jefferson Education and Simple Homeschool on FB.
I would love to have the materials for me and my 2 and 4 year olds.
My oldest is seven, but I think we’d enjoy it. History is not naturally a strength, and this would be a good jumping-off point for lots of things. Plus, we do public school, and this is a nice add-on.
My kids are 12, 9, 7, 1. I have listened to a few TJEd webinars and I know this is the route I need to go with my kids – inspire not require. I need help in learning how to do this.
I liked both on Facebook 🙂
I have 3 boys, ages 6, 3, and 2. History has always been my favorite subject and would love some more resources to make it fun for the kids! I have also liked Simple Homeschool and Thomas Jefferson Edication on Facebook.
My kids are 12, 10, 8 and 7. I would love to win this because I am feeling a bit stuck in a few subjects and would love ideas and help on how to rekindle the love of learning in our home!

I have graduated two from homeschool and we used a variety of curriculum. The Thomas Jefferson Education looks very interesting which I will explore further to use with my 9 year old.
I recently read A Thomas Jefferson Education and LOVED it. I would love more help with implementing this style of learning in our homeschool. My kiddos are 9 & 11.

Thank You for the giveaway offer and continued exposure to this philosophy and curriculum support. I appreciate it both to learn more about it, and further guide my desire to “inspire not require”. My children are 6+, 9, and 11 years old.
My children are 8, 8, 10, and 13. We have been homeschooling for about 3 years now and are still looking for what really fits us. Lately we’ve taken to “unschooling” and are loving it. I’m a little uneasy that they really aren’t learning enough and this looks like an awesome way to increase what we learn everyday.
My children are 18, 15, 11, and 7. We have been homeschooling for 8 years but I still feel like a rookie and am continually looking for a better fit. This Week in History sounds like a great tool at all my kids’ ages that would give us some stability and direction, but keep us moving and growing and exploring. (I “liked” TJED, and I “liked” Simple Homeschool, and am a member of the TJED facebook group.)
I’m already a user of the TJed system of learning and inspiring, so instead of entering myself, can I enter for another person and surprise them? I have a friend who would love this, just can’t afford it all at once. Her children are 7, 5, 4, 2, 2mo. It’s her second year homeschooling and she unknowingly lives the principles, she just needs the guidance that the mentoring could give her 🙂 Thanks a bunch for being so awesome 🙂
My daughter is five and my husband and I just got finished reading “Thomas Jefferson Education,” and LOVED IT! Very excited about this opportunity. I have liked both pages on FB.
This would be awesome. I am already instituting TJED in my homeschool, and participating in MIC, but I would love this week in history!
My children are 15, 12, 10, 7, 5, 3, and 1. I have heard so many good reviews of this curriculum through Simple Homeschool. I would like to read the resources and see what we could integrate into our own learning.

Hello Jaime! My children are 1, 4, and 6 years old And I’d love to win the subscription to Mentoring in the Classics! I took that class all last year and it was awesome! I loved the great introductions that got me excited to read each book, then discussing them on facebook, and then hearing the DeMilles discuss them at the end of the month, it was a great learning experience. It really changed how I learn from books! I’d recommend that class to anyone. I can’t afford to keep taking it this year, so I’ve had to drop it and it’s so sad to not have great discussions to look forward to. I live in a pace where people don’t read and discuss books, so that class was like a drop of cool water on a hot day. Love to win it!

My kids are 9,7,4, and 1 and we would love Mentoring in the Classics and This Week in History.
My daughter is 13. I’d like to win this contest because my daughter would love “This Week in History” and I’d love to incorporate it into her history lessons. I also have been intrigued by the little bit I’ve read about Thomas Jefferson Education and would like to learn more. If I win, I will have quite a difficult time deciding which option to choose, but I will appreciate being in that difficult position. 🙂
My kids are 8, 7 and 3. We are only partial homeschoolers – my kids go to school, but since we are ex-.pats, I try to pad their education to cover things from home. This week in History really appeals to me because I already create something similar on my own, but it is a lot of prep!! Mentoring from the Classics also really appeals to me.

Hi there! My name is Elena and I homeschool two boys ages 6 and 4. I love the philosophy of TJEd because it matches our family’s philosophy on education and life at large. I would love to get more sources, support and education. I have been reading the blog regularly, really appreciate the emails and the updates and love Simple Homeschool blog. I have learned so much already. Very thankful for all the help on our path to inspired learning. I would really love to see the TJEd books available on http://www.audible.com too. Is there any chance you may make some or all your books audiobooks too?
I just “liked” TJEd and Simple Homeschool on Facebook for an extra entry! Yay! Thank you!
My kids who are still homeschooling are 7 and 14, and the teenager in particular would be delighted to have This Week in History again! We had a wonderful year with it a couple of years ago when we reviewed it for the Schoolhouse Crew, but I think it would be even more beneficial to her now as she ties more things together in her learning.

My homeschool peeps are 15,13,10,7,4, and 1. I think the homeschool bundle would be the most helpful as I try to juggle the care, keeping and schooling of 6 people!
My kiddos are 14, 4, 3 (twins), and 3 months. I love TJEd and really want to improve our Kid School and my own mentoring! Thanks for the opportunity.
My kids are 8, 5, 3, and 1. We are new to homeschooling and still figuring out what works for us. This looks like something that would get my kids excited about learning. 🙂
My kids are 5, 3, and 1. I would love to win this as I don’t know much about this method of homeschooling. We are so early in our homeschooling journey I am really trying to suck up all I can about various methods to find the right fit!
My children are 8, 6 and 3. I would LOVE to win this as I am gathering so many resources. (We start homeschooling officially this fall!!!) I’m reading about many different approaches, but I had never heard of Thomas Jefferson education before I read this blog article. I can’t wait to learn more!

Thanks for hosting all these great giveaways! I hope to win one someday! 🙂
My kids are 5 and 4. I would love to learn more about the TJEd philosophy of education – these resources look awesome!
My children are ages 10, 9, 6, 5, 3 and I have a foster daughter, age 4. I am very interested in TJED, and very excited about this opportunity to get started!
My kiddos are 12, 10 and 8. I’ve heard a lot about TJ education and I’d love to learn more about it.

I would like to win this because I absolutely LOVE TJEd and feel like our children could benefit from Mentoring in the Classics and This Week in History. My boys are ages 9 and 5 and sometimes it is a little tough to come up with great inspiring ideas for both of them and I know that the content provided in the subscription would be SO HELPFUL! THanks! (I also liked both on Facebook)
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win this package. I am in my second year of homeschooling our children, and we just really haven’t found the ‘right’ fit…..yet. The more I read about TJED and the phases of learning, it just seems that this may be the direction that we need to head. Have been looking to purchase a book, and go from there, but maybe we’ll just wait one or two days more…. thanks for the opportunity!
My kids are 1 and 3, but I have already read two of the TJE books and am hooked! I used to teach middle school and I would have loved to use this with my students! I will definitely be using this with my kiddos, so I would love to win this package!
Just left a post, and got completely distracted by children (still) heading to bed and forgot to post ages, they are 11, 8, 4 &2 🙂
I “liked’ TJE and Simple Homeschool on FB 🙂 I’m so excited!!!!!
I have 2 boys, ages 6 and 7. I have read one of the books, and am currently needing an overhaul to our lifestyle. My heart has been chewing on this philosophy for over a year. We have started to very slowly implement some of the key philosophies. I love everything I read and learn, but it can be scary to take the plunge. This would definitely help! Also, the resources provided for dads especially. I do the research and he supports me, but with something this extreme it would be helpful to have him more deeply engaged.
My kids are 9, 7, 5 & 5. I would love to win this package because we teach our kids all the time about the importance of our founding fathers. The character, commitment and determination of those men were astounding. Kids today have no idea what our country was founded on. Thomas Jefferson was a brilliant, well read man. He was self-educated. So i feel this curriculum could pull together the two themes we believe in the most…independent, self-directed learning and a country in which that is possible…only because men like Thomas Jefferson risked their lives to establish the nation because they were men of principle. I wish for my children to become adults with lives based on high principles and the ability to learn anywhere, anytime because they choose to.
My kids are 8,6,5,4 and 1. I am interested in Tjed and often read about on this site. I’d be interested to start to implement some of the principles into our homeschooling.
My children are 6 and 3. This sure would help us out on our homeschool journey. I really like that it is multi-disciplinary. Thank you for the chance to win!
My kids are 4 & 6, I’m currently trying to mentor them through project based learning, the mentoring guidance sounds like the help I need to expand our repertoire and be a better mentor.. This is our first year. Plus the week in history subscription sound great.
My 10 & 8 year old lads could really benefit from those materials!
I would love Option #1! It may just be the one thing to save our homeschool (and my sanity!) 😉 Trying to get off the “Conveyor Belt” has been really challenging and I need a helping hand to more fully implement TJED. My kids ages are 11 1/2, 9, 6 1/2, and 4. Thank you!!!
My boys are 2 and 11. This Week in History sounds very interesting.
When I try to look at your blog on my phone instead of my computer the Free ebook for blog subscribers! pop up is so big that I can’t x out of it to leave my comment. I don’t know if there is anything you can do about that.
I have “liked” both FB pages! 🙂 Thanks for the extra entry! (Fingers crossed…!)
This Week In History would be such a great resource in our home!
Our kids are 15, 14, and 12 yo, and I would like TWiH because I need to branch out and try new things in our homeschool. We love history already, but this seems like a stretching expansion to what we currently do.
My kids are 10, 7 & 6. I would love the Deluxe homeschool bundle to help lead and guide my young creative learners. I believe this package will be an powerful tool for our household.
I have two boys, ages 10 and 13. I always want to know more about different education methodologies. Thomas Jefferson education seems to fit our current philosophies. I’d love to delve deeper.
My kids are 6, 4, 2.5, and 1 with one due in April. I really like the leadership education philosophy and want to learn more about it so we can get a great start to education.

My sons are 2, 5, and 7. I would like to win because we are currently in Germany where official homeschooling in illegal but yet we try to teach our kids things that do not seem to get covered in their school. We are also planning on coming back to the States and will probably be homeschooling them then.
i have a soon to be 6 and 8 year old. We are overseas for a year and next year I would like to homeschool, TJEd seems like a good fit for our educational philosophy.
fan of both on FB
Our son is 5yrs old on the 1st of Feb.
We are just starting our homeschool journey and TJed is one of the reasons why. We are a part of the LIFE Leadership community and find the TJed information and classic teaching the way we want to raise our child.
This package would provide us with everything we need to get him started right!
Thanks for the chance at a great package
My kiddos are 8,7,3,2, and .5 years old. I would love to win because I am finally starting to implement the TJed keys more regularly in our lives and this would help in that endeavor.

I’m sitting here now in an office. An office in a public school. Each day I spend here, it becomes more and more evident to me that this is not the best place to be “educated”. There is nothing particularly wrong with the school I am employed at. I’m sure what is wrong here is wrong in all public schools. In any case, it has been laid heavily on my heart to pull my girls from the system and educate them at home. My girls are 11, 6 and 3. Of course, the failed public system is not the only reason I want to home school. There are a thousand more. I’m sure you don’t need me to list them because it is certainly the same as most mothers who would want to home school. Everyday I pray for this to be a reality in our lives. I am certain that this is a path that God is leading us down. It is an exciting time. We are learning how very much we must lean on Him for guidance and answers.
In my search of what our home school days would consist of, I have come across the TJED method of education. It is extremely intriguing to me. It is a total transformation from the public “conveyer belt” system and I LOVE it! A verse has repeated itself to my husband and me over the last few months, Romans 12:2 -And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind……..Isn’t God good?
My children (at home) are 17, 14, 13 and 9.
TJed has always been an encouragement to our family. I want to glean as much as I can so that I can inspire my children.
Thank you for this generous giveaway!

My children are 7.5, 5.5 and 2.
I would like to win this package because curriculums are very expensive and it seems like a great program. Here’s to hoping we win!
My children are 8, 5, and 3. I’d love to win this, as we’re planning to bring our 8 year old home to homeschool for the first time!
We desire to make the switch from cyber to traditional homeschooling, although the expense is intimidating. Winning this package would be a huge blessing!
My children are 10, 7, and 5. I am a classical educator at heart, so the history option seems intriguing. Plus, the dad bundle? Totally up my hubby’s alley. Even if he doesn’t know it, yet. 😉
I would love to do more inspiring and less requiring in my home. Thanks!
My boys are 8, 6 and 2. I would love to inspire more then require!
Our boys are almost 9 and 12 years old, and I think we’re all getting somewhat bored with our current history curriculum. I wouldn’t mind shaking things up!!
I have four boys, 8, 7 and twin 2 year olds! My 8 year old is special needs. We would love some inspiration in our home and try to do that by looking through history! This would be put to great use in our home!! 🙂
Mine are 5 and 3 at the moment, and hoping to add one more :). I’m not planning on enrolling the 5 year old in kindergarten in the coming year but will instead be implementing some type of homeschool using the Thomas Jefferson Education principles!
I liked TJEd on facebook and already liked Simple Homeschool :)!
My kids are 10, 13, and 13. I think they would love “This Week in History”. Mentoring in the Classics sounds like it would be great for my kids also.

We’ve been home schooling our 9-year-old from day 1, and Mr almost-4 will start this year. Our philosophy is eclectic, but our approach has tended toward traditional school-at-home. I nearly burned out last year, and do not want that to happen again this year. The curriculum that promises to instil a love of learning in my children has left me wanting, and the idea of “inspiring, not requiring” sounds like it would help rekindle the fire in our eyes and the harmony in our home.

Hello Simple Homeschool,
It was once said by our prophet “search for knowledge even if you have to travel to China”….. so here I am reaching out to you…. in the hope of helping myself, my kids, my famiy… and a community.
We moved here almost two years ago, to a remote, little town, Morocco.
We came here to learn a language and a deeper knowledge of our religion. We are also conscious that our seclusion from the modern world is a great way to create a little learning sanctuary. Althought there are no libraries here, we are motivated to build our own… and maybe , eventually open it up to the illiterate population . Living here has changed alot on our perspective on life, especially on homeschooling.
But my journey to TJED was a special one. I must say that moving here ( with our fifteen boxes of books) tree children, one of wich was a newborn, adapting to the heat and many other discomforts has taken a toll on us..especially me. The first year was Very challenging. I felt as if I was a book that was torn into pieces…. a cup that was emptied…. however I knew that this process was necessary. I knew somewhere deep down, that to properly build you must destroy the old foundations. To write a book you need a blank book. So here I was, feeling I needed to start fresh. My husband and I disagreed on many homeschooling theories we had. I was too soft, he was too hard. I kept thinking of Jamie Martin and simplehomeschool whom I found when we arrived here. Just because she was at the time in the Philippines, and I, here, I somehow felt connected…. then I thought Tjed might be a middle ground for us… and it was.. finally a piece of my heart started to mend… but it goes deeper then that… everything I am reading is touching my soul…is caressing my heart. Not only TJED makes sense on the intellectual level, but also, or mostly on the emotional level. Because we learn with all our senses, not just with our brain. And the process I am going through with the readings is drawing beautiful colors in my blank notebook… inside of me…
Back in Canada, I use to take learning for granted, a necessary skill you need to live.But now I see the value of learning, I can see what happens when one does not learn!!!! And I can understand how aquiring knowledge can change lives and communities.I understand how knowledge of the world and its history can bring us to higher levels of consciousness.. and really it is with knowledge that we can move whole societies.
By helping us as a family, you would not only help us , but a community, because, I feel I have a mission here. yes I came here to learn, but I feel I also came here to teach.. Teach these kids that have no where to go exept from the streets. nothing to do, exept from looking at their cell phones. We would like to offer them a library, a place of inspiration, a place for them to discover passions, to discover themselves. these children are starving for knowledge, and we feel we
can help them. They already come to our house, eyes open up wide to the few books lying around… as we bring out a few blank pages and crayons… Maybe I need to provide for them, to learn myself.
thank you very much, may peace and blessings be with you.

Our boys are 12, 10, 8 and 4. I would like to win this package, if it’s not late to enter, because I have begun the 7 keys certification process, but I haven’t bought all the books I need yet. I am so excited to have some more clear direction and focus to inspire our boys. We have gotten into a rut of checking off the lists and I want to change things as I learn, keep what we’re doing well and personalize and individualize to help them pursue their passions. This would help us greatly!
