End-of-September-I-Can't-Believe-It's-October Upcoming Events

I have some bad news. That giveaway I mentioned last week? It's not happening. Yet! As it turns out, that giveaway wasn't so great. It was something that I was contacted about and after some preliminary research I thought it would be a good opportunity. BUT, after numerous attempts at using the product myself and only ending up frustrated, I decided I don't have the heart to pass it on to you.  So,  I am working on a replacement giveaway for next week - something that maybe you'll actually want.  Please forgive me.  And be sure to check back next week.

I'll be heading out of town for a few days but wanted to highlight a few things happening soon that may interest you.  If you know of something that fellow homeschoolers and their families may be interested in, then please share with us.

Have a great weekend!
