This offer is no longer available, but you can still buy these books individually!
This week I’m happy to be a contributing author to the 2nd annual iHomeschool network ebook bundle sale–it’s a collection of over 90 ebooks (a $590 value) that you can purchase at over 95% off – for only $25.
I’ve already bought my bundle–I’m 12 hours ahead in the Philippines, so I grabbed mine straight away! I spent part of the day downloading and reading, deciding which books I want to use and how I can incorporate them in our homeschool.
How I avoid overwhelm with ebook bundles
Envisioning myself on this beach reading ebooks like I was a week ago. But instead, I’m here in the torrential rain. It’s all good.
While I’m on the topic, let’s talk about how to avoid overwhelm with ebook bundles.
Here’s what I did – I went through the list of books included and wrote down (Yes, with paper and pen!) the titles that seemed most interesting and that I would be most likely to use over the next year. When I finished, I had a list of about 30.
That’s just one-third of the entire bundle, and yet those 30 still seem like a great value for $25!
After I bought my bundle I downloaded those 30 books and created a new folder on my computer called 2013 Homeschool Omnibus. When I’m ready to read, I know exactly where to find them–and I don’t have to wade through the ones that don’t fit our needs at the moment.
If you’ve already planned out your upcoming homeschool year in detail, you may not need these books. But if you’re still looking for resources to use in the upcoming months (like me!), this is an incredible deal to get high quality materials for an unbelievable price.
Several days this week I’ll share some of my favorite titles and how they’ve inspired me. It’s quite possible that with this bundle, you might not need to buy anything else for your entire year of learning.
Spelling, art, Bible, science, handwriting, geography, math, preschool, schooling with Netflix, nature study, poetry, music, history, plus a lot of inspiration for the homeschooling mamas and papas–all topics are covered in this year’s bundle.

Entryway to the Love146 Round Home
If you read here regularly you’ll know that this month we’re raising funds for a homeschooling library and other educational costs for child trafficking survivors in the Philippines.
As an online community we are 73% of the way to paying for an entire year of learning for the girls who live in Love146’s Round Home here–incredible! Steve and I have also decided to donate a portion of our family’s profits from this sale so we can reach our goal even faster.

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”
