This past weekend I finally had a little bit of time to sit down and start planning out next school year.   One of the things I did was make a wish list of all the books I’d like to purchase for History.  (We’ll be using Connecting With History Volume 3, continuing from Volume 1 and Volume 2.)   It had been awhile since I’d visited Book Closeouts, but I thought I would do a little searching to see if I could find discounts on some of the Living History Books I was hoping to purchase.  I was able to find five titles from our Volume 3 Booklist, a few to save for the next time we study Volumes 1 & 2, as well as some other fun books!    Here’s a peek at my order:  

For this coming year’s Connecting with History Volume 3:

To add to our Connecting with History Volume 2 Collection:

(I bought both editions for my boys.) 

To add to our Connecting with History Volume 1 Collection:

A Few Others I purchased:

And, of course, FLOWER FAIRIES!!!  I’m planning on saving these for Twinkle Toes’ birthday next month (shhhhh) :

I could have kept shopping but I had to stop. 

My subtotal was $65.42 plus shipping and handling of $8.25, but after entering a coupon code (I think it was good for purchases of $65+) I found online (code: brickcity-10 / password: bookcloseouts.com) which took an extra $20.00 off, bringing my total to only $53.57 for 18 books – an average of only $2.97 each!

There are limited quantities available of each book, but I hope some of you are able to take advantage of these great prices!

    Those are great prices on the books!

    I've been restricting myself to only buying at the local thrift shop {.45 for kids books} or getting them through bookmooch.

    I've managed to get all but about 3 books we need for the fall through Bookmooch.

    Love bargain shopping. Our budget is tight right now so any help from the library, thrift stores, or sites like these are such a big help.

    Thank you for sharing!

    Karina ~ I noticed the same thing! It's always worth searching for a coupon code before purchasing online. 🙂

    I'm glad some of you were able to order books as well! Mine arrived the other day and it was SUCH a great deal!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
