Don't Bury Those Books in Your Yard!

Has God blessed you this past year? Were you able to see God's hand at work in your life and in your family?

Then stop hoarding your used curriculum -- stop thinking of it as an investment -- your children are the investment, not the books!

Please get rid of your unnecessary curriculum as cheaply as you can! And when someone offers you a lower price—take it! Do not pass up the opportunity be a blessing to others...

Be happy about it! Think of all of the ways He has answered your prayers this past school year. God is faithful, He has already met your needs -- and He loves a cheerful giver!

A Lesson from the Garden

Kids are like vines. At the beginning, it seems like forever before they'll take root and start to grow. Will they EVER get anywhere? You had such great visions of what they could be... Then, when you're not looking, the shoots start zipping along the fence, tiny tendrils hanging on tenaciously as they climb. In the blink of an eye, they've moved far beyond the neat little fence you made for them. And then you think, ''WAIT!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING SO FAST?!?!?'' We moms are such conflicted creatures.

HC: Longer-lasting Listings!

Site administrator: After years of requests, we have changed how our system handles older sale listings. Instead of being deleted after ~60 days, listings will now become inactive (grayed out to the seller, invisible to buyers) after 60 days, and be irretrievably deleted after 120 days. If you have sufficient credits you can of course renew them by clicking the ''Renew older listings'' link on your ''For sale'' tab. Let us know how this is working.
