Amazon Mom

Heard of Amazon Mom?  It's been around for awhile, but I've been surprised how many people haven't heard of it yet.  Basically, it's a free program provided by Amazon.com for people who have a baby or young children in their lives (moms, dads, grandparents, nannies, etc.).  With your membership, you get the following benefits through Amazon.com:
  • Subscribe and Save Benefits
    • Without Amazon Mom, you get 15% off most subscribe and save items.  With it, you get 30% off subscribe and save items in the baby store.  We get our diapers much cheaper this way.
  • Free Prime Shipping for three months!
    • Just for signing up, you get three months of free, two-day shipping on any size order from any department on Amazon (not just baby).  I rarely go to Target anymore since I can get whatever I need from Amazon delivered to my doorstep.  And trust me, with kids, this is amazing.
    • But it gets even better.  If you spend $25 in a single order from the baby store, they will extend your prime shipping benefits for an extra month.  You can accumulate up to a year of free prime shipping benefits.  (You don't get the instant streaming benefit though through Amazon Mom).  Because I get my diapers through Amazon, this order is over $25 which extends my shipping benefit.
  • You get emails from the Amazon Mom team telling you about deals and discounts in the baby store.  (You can always unsubscribe from these if you don't want them.)
We've been using Amazon mom now for a year, and it has made life so much easier.  If you want to sign up, you can go to here and follow the links.

Disclaimer: I am in no way compensated for this blog post.  I just have found it incredibly helpful this last year, and wanted to share.

How I'm Approaching... Geometry

N will be taking Geometry this year.  A Little Bit of Background His last year was split between taking his first semester of Algebra I at the local middle school as an 8th grader and his second semester being homeschooled. Khan Academy was a fantastic resource for him to make sure that he didn't have any gaps in his learning. We also used IXL to supplement. He took a math diagnostic right when we started homeschooling, and then took the personalized lessons to make sure he wasn't missing anything from even earlier math. N likes math, but it isn't an obsession for him like it is for his brother. I'm a huge fan of the Art of Problem Solving's courses especially since we loved their elementary series, Beast Academy, when they were younger. However, AoPS is extremely rigorous and expensive if you take their online courses, so they are better suited for students who want to focus a lot of their attention on math. However, they do have a FREE online learning platform for...

About Me

  Hello! Welcome to my blog. What you will find here are my attempts at sorting through my ideas and implementation of homeschool curriculum and activities that I have pursued with my own two boys. The Beginning I began this blog in 2008 when my oldest was only a year old. It began as a family blog chronicling our adventures as a young family in Seattle. We decided early on that we wanted to homeschool our two sons. Honestly, now, I don't remember why we decided to do that, but we did it nevertheless. We began teaching our children as soon as they could walk and talk. We made many mistakes along the way and so learned to follow the lead of our children in what they were interested in. We focused on delight-directed learning with a lot of outings and fun things to do. When things got rough, we learned to adapt and switch things out. Moving To Thailand In 2015, our family moved to Thailand. We started another blog for our time there, but alas it was not a good fit for us. We had int...
