Little Learning Lovies: April Packs over 70% off!

Beginning in April, Little Learning Lovies will be introducing a new set of monthly packs, each centered on a particular theme. All products contained in each “Lovie Pack” will be brand new, never-before-released games and activities. You’ll be able to purchase each pack for only $14 – but their retail value will always be $20 or more and contain at least eight different games and activities!

 

Here’s the exciting news for all us Bargain Hunters: To start off this project with a bang, Little Learning Lovies is offering the option for you to pre-purchase the April Pack(s) for over 60% off!

 

 

I’m personally very excited about April’s “Farm Time” theme in both the “PreK to Grade 1” and “Grades 1 to 3” Packs. Click on the farm picture above to get a sneak-peek of some of the games and activities included in the April Pack.

 

Now through March 31, you can pre-purchase the packs for only $8.50 each. Or do as I did and buy both the Little Lovies and Tiny Lovies Packs for only $12 – i.e. only $6.00 each!

 

Plus, I’m especially excited to offer coupon code b1g1 (all lowercase) to the readers of this blog, so you all can get an extra 10% discount! But don’t wait – these offers are valid only through March 31.

 

Happy shopping – and learning!

Intro to "Little Learning Lovies" & Giveaway!

Very recently, I learned about Little Learning Lovies, and I'm excited about the wealth of material available on the site, especially for pre-K through 3rd grade!

Little Learning Lovies (an online store with its accompanying blog) is run by a mother, teacher, and homeschooler to four daughters who (in her own words) "do a great job of keeping her creatively inspired."

 

Often, products are offered for free in downloadable form. (Downloadable, instead of printed, material in my opinion is especially helpful for those living overseas!) And you can keep up with special offers and other news via the Little Learning Lovies Blog.

 

New material is constantly being added, so you'll want to check often. You can even request that material on specific subjects be created! How's that for service?

 

Learn more by visiting the blog.

 

I'm very excited to tell you about a great giveaway today: Enter via the Rafflecopter form (below) for an opportunity to win $50 to spend at Little Learning Lovies!

Counting Apples Printable Set (60 pages) FREE!

We’ve been taking an eclectic approach to teaching our toddler some pre-school basics. In reality, his best teacher is his “Best Big Sister” – who, incidentally, says she wants to be a K-2 teacher when she grows up! That said, we’re constantly amazed at what our Little Man picks up as he listens in on what his sister is learning, finishing first grade and starting second.

 

We’ve worked a little on numbers and counting, so I was especially excited to find this counting freebie!

You can get the Counting Apples Printable Set (60 pages) free by using coupon code freehomeschooldeals. This offer is valid through March 20, 2013.

 

You can read all the details over at Free Homeschool Deals.

 

Enjoy!

"Here We Grow Again!" Consignment Sale

It’s almost spring – and spring and summer consignment sales are underway. We’ve learned to dress our whole family for (a lot!) less by shopping at consignment sales – and by consigning clothes, too!

 

If you live in the Upstate, you can check out the semi-annual "Here We Grow Again" Consignment Sale, going on this week and next. Doors will open to the public on Friday, March 15, at 9:00 a.m. (That’s tomorrow morning!)

 

 

We love this sale! We’ve had great success dressing our children – in quality clothes – for great prices. And I’ve learned over the past three years that name-brand clothes tend to wear, and wash (and resist stains!), and keep so that I can re-sell them – and so savings really get multiplied!

Check the website ("Here We Grow Again" Consignment Sale) for all the details...

If you don’t live in the Upstate, I still have good shopping news for you: Check out an earlier post for tips on Saving on Clothes – including tips for saving by shopping online!
