About Homeschooling On a Shoestring and Educational Travel on a Shoestring
Two moms who are unabashed penny-pinchers share their ideas for economical homeschooling in a two-paycheck, latchkey world. Homeschooling on a Shoestring tells the personal stories and creative solutions of home school parents across the U.S.A, Europe and Canada. This book is packed with freebies, tips, resources and anecdotes to give parents the confidence to tackle homeschooling with enthusiasm.
Homeschooling on a Shoestring: "This book is the most original and helpful homeschooling book I've read in years. Highly Recommended."--Mary Pride, publisher of Practical Homeschooling magazine
Educational Travel on a Shoestring :
Frugal Family Fun and Learning Away from Home :“I believe this book will be welcome to many
parents and families who have been frightened away from air travel and are in
the market for alternative ways of taking vacation trips. You have produced a
useful and entertaining “workbook” for economical travel.” –D.
