Why we’re here:
School districts get huge discounts on their curriculum. Why not homeschoolers? The reason is simple: school districts have purchasing power and homeschoolers don’t because we purchase as individuals. The Homeschool Buyers Co-op changes that for homeschoolers everywhere.
What we provide:
We save you 20%-90% on your homeschool curriculum. By pooling the purchasing power of our entire membership, we are able to call major educational publishers and homeschooling curriculum providers and negotiate much better prices for our members than they can get on their own. And it works! Virtually every vendor will give discounts for their homeschool curriculum if they are assured adequate volumes.
Are you ready to go into your week feeling less frazzled and more in control?
You need this checklist to help you set up your week, save time running around and plan out time for you!
I’m a wife, a mom of five, and the proud owner of zero cats.
At a difficult time in my parenting life, where I wanted to be “anywhere but here” with regard to my children, I embarked upon a daily Time In routine. It would be supremely succinct of me to say that this practice – of interrupting myself to spend five minutes a day with my young children – saved my disintegrating relationships with them. Yet this statement, while entirely true, doesn’t reflect truth entirely because it lacks the crucial details demonstrating just how this change came about.
