She is a December baby, and I think I was done at the beginning of November. I wanted to simply focus on the birth of Christ and my new baby -- oh and enjoying the rest of my family too of course :0)!Deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15170331499885879774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-62254795097502738892009-03-28T12:26:00.000-04:002009-03-28T12:26:00.000-04:00I try to think ahead... don't always succeed :0)Wh...I try to think ahead... don't always succeed :0)<BR><BR>When I was expecting Tate (he was due in November) I wanted to have all my Christmas shopping done before he was born. That Christmas was WONDERFUL.<BR><BR>Now I aim for (American) Thanksgiving. I want to be done shopping by then so I can focus on God and family over the holidays.<BR><BR>I'm not sure I have ever quite made it since the year Tate was born, but I keep trying:0)<BR><BR>Sorry, I'm off on a tangent...Herding Grasshoppershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15668974245505544238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-15541226872995177762009-03-27T15:02:00.000-04:002009-03-27T15:02:00.000-04:00Wow!

Funny thing is sometimes I forget what I have. I wonder if I could get several of the locals :0) to go together on an order -- although $150 adds up pretty quickly -- especially with exchange :0P.Deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15170331499885879774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-51891702070111469912009-03-27T13:03:00.000-04:002009-03-27T13:03:00.000-04:00I know it's "in American", but have you seen Rainb...I know it's "in American", but have you seen Rainbow Resources?<BR><BR>Their catalog is bigger than a NY phone book, but the prices are unbelievable sometimes. It's really too big for me to browse, but if I know what I want I'll always go to their website and check their price. I can get our math curriculum cheaper from them than from the manufacturer.<BR><BR>They also have tons of (educational) games and toys, so if I'm putting in an order in the summer I try to think ahead to Christmas too. And - in the states, anyway - orders of $150 or more get free shipping. I call my friends and we order together :0)Herding Grasshoppershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15668974245505544238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-68355219444812892212009-03-25T21:18:00.000-04:002009-03-25T21:18:00.000-04:00I love The Learning House catalogue.

Plus its Cdn prices, so what we see is what we pay.Deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15170331499885879774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-3829371319914629142009-03-25T18:01:00.000-04:002009-03-25T18:01:00.000-04:00Me too!!!
