It's Holiday's this week and we're very busy with family. So, if you would indulge us with some episodes from the archive. Thanks for all your support! We look forward to an exciting new year! Enjoy! :)
Today on the show we interviewed Kristina Garner, creator of the fantastic secular curriculum Blossom & Root. We discussed what drove her to develop this curriculum, why nature based learning is so critical, and how we should approach using the resources she provides. She also has lots of great advice for new homeschooling families as they embark on this rewarding journey.

December 20, 2021 Episode 165: (Encore) Organize All the Books!
It's Holiday's this week and we're very busy with family. So, if you would indulge us with some episodes from the archive. Thanks for all your support! We look forward to an exciting new year! Enjoy! :)
Having a house full of books is about more than providing entertainment or fulfilling a learning requirement. Books are gateways to experience new places and people, launchpads to discovery, and friends waiting to be met. In our family, our book collection is large and constantly growing. At just over 2000 books we only have one problem: shelf space! A book collection is a treasure, but not if you can’t find the book you need or they’re so haphazard that natural discovery is inhibited. So today on the show we’re talking about book organization! We’ll share our methods for taming this beast and hopefully give you some tips and tricks that you can use in your home.
Episode 22 - Buy All The Books! https://homeschooltogether.fireside.fm/22
Step 1: Know what you have so you don’t buy duplicates!
Step 2: Organize by subject or collection
Step 3: Book placement and presentation
Step 4: Keep only the good stuff

November 22, 2021 Episode 157: (Encore) Episode #22 - Buy All The Books
It's Turkey Week and we're very busy with family. So, if you would indulge us with an episode from the archive. It's one of our favorite topics, BOOKS! We're getting into the holiday season and we know you're going to be shopping for books so we think this might help. Enjoy! :)
Discussion
New Books
Amazon Prime: need it now regardless of price
Book Outlet or KidsBooks.com: limited title selection. Create wishlist, emails when available, need $35 to free ship (otherwise $5 to US/CAN)
Used Books
See our episode on finding used curriculum. All of those methods are applicable here
Local resale: thrift, facebook marketplace, offerup, library book sales, used bookstore
New & Used Books
Bookfinder.com: need to get a reliable ISBN first from Amazon or similar. Remember it includes shipping. You can check prices without shipping if you plan to buy multiple items. Protip - bookfinder also gives you the buyback offer for a book so you can have an idea what you could resell for to a company (private always more $$)
Sales
Amazon and Target buy 2 get 1 free sales. These happen a couple times a year. Have your wishlists loaded as items sell out. Must do separate purchases to maximize the discount.
