An Old-Fashioned Christmas is LIVE


I am super excited about our first literature-based Christmas unit. This unit focuses on the "ingredients" of what made Christmas so special long ago. Throughout the 8 lessons, you will be encouraged to slow down, peel back the layers of consumerism and obligation, and discover that peace, joy, and love are available if we will choose to see through the lens of thankfulness. If you have been missing the nostalgia of Christmas, turn with us through the pages of literature from a time gone by to rediscover it again.

For Canadians, just a reminder that our Canadian site will be shutting down for print orders in only two weeks! You are still able to order from the US site, but you will likely see an increase in shipping times and costs. I know some of you were waiting to order until Christmas launched to stock up and take advantage of the coupon code I offered for 10% off your print order: CANADA10.

For those of you ordering off the US site, the books are required reading. I chose them partly because they are readily available at your local library or on Amazon, but if you prefer, we do have 200 book packages available to purchase at 20% off retail on the US site. You can snag the book bundle here. If you missed the free sample and want to look closer at the layout before you buy, you can grab that here.

We are so excited to be launching our Modular Math K-8 curriculum for beta tester signups for a limited time only! Being a beta tester comes with some serious perks. Not only do you get $5 off per unit/child, but you also get the units 3 months earlier than the general public. All we ask in return is that you join our exclusive Beta Tester group on the app (still in progress, but you can request to join as soon as you purchase), fill out our feedback form after each unit, and share pics and...

If you missed the live on Wednesday (or maybe were overwhelmed by it), I promised to give you a list of the updates so that you could quickly recap without having to watch it all. We went on a Gather 'Round school field trip yesterday so I am a bit delayed but wanted to get this out to you so there is no confusion. Let's get right into it. Most Important: We have opened a US warehouse and are now shipping from Georgia. This means cheaper shipping (in many cases with media mail that is down to...
