The Homeschool Gathering Place
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007North Carolina is full of wonderful things, and sometimes I take a day and do a road trip to Raleigh and visit some places that I love. Today I went to The Homeschool Gathering Place. What is The Homeschool Gathering Place? It is a store for homeschoolers. It is full of all kinds of new and used homeschool curriculum. I could literally spend hours in there (and sometimes do) just leafing through books and checking out new homeschooling resources.
Today I checked out their shelf of used “how-to” books. Some of these books I have had my hands on before via our local library, but today I found all these books at around 4 dollars apiece. There were many more, but these were some I especially wanted in my own collection. The exception to this, in regards to pricing, is the book by Karen Andreola called Story Starters: Helping Children Write Like They’ve Never Written Before. I gladly paid 28.00 for this, as I just love Karen Andreola’s style. This book, like her others, gives me a sense of peace and control as I read it. She inspires me to inspire my children! It works. Of course, I am Charlotte-Mason-minded, so that is part of the charm of Karen Andreola’s books working for me, but mostly I think it is Mrs. Andreola’s sweet way of writing and the beautiful illustrations she chooses.

I look forward to reading these and then sharing more about them on my website, The Healthy Homeschool.

PS — Just wanted to add that this is NOT the fieldtrip I have promised to take pictures of and share. The Homeschool Gathering Place was great, yes, but there’s another store on my list. More to come…
