Bright Ideas Press E-Zine #8

Surprise! A March E-Zine! Wow - two months in a row!!!
(Not to worry, I’m sure I won’t keep up this pace.
But I wanted to alert you to a wonderful special my
friend Gena Suarez of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
is offering right now. She is giving away TONS of
free stuff and I wanted my readers to be in on it.
So check out this great deal down below! (The Old
Schoolhouse is one of my “must read” magazines, and
not because I often write for it, either! It is
simply jammed with information a homeschooler can
really use!)

Two other Quick Notes to share with you:

1.  I was just interviewed by Eclectic Homeschool
Online. They also reviewed products we publish so
this is a great way for you to find out more about
us and what we do and to read unbiased descriptions
of our curriculum. Go to:

http://eho.org/reviews/featured_publisher2.asp#1

2.  Are you a book-lover? Might you enjoy a bi-weekly
newsletter with articles about living books, book
collecting, taking care of and organizing your home
school library, using living books in your homeschool,
notebooking, book and author reviews? I do and I
joined Ann Tatum’s group:

Ann just interviewed me, as well.


Now: Here’s that great offer from The Old
Schoolhouse Magazine:
