Package B! I think finding time to do everything not only around the house, but to make school just the way I want is the hardest! Great giveaway - Thanks!

I would love either package! My kids love books and games!

My hardest part about school is being FLEXIBLE. I'm very detail oriented and I'm a perfectionist, especially when it comes to planning and organizing. These are probably great qualities, if I didn't have to involve kids in my plan. lol

I would love to win Package B! I am just starting out homeschooling my daughter so the hardest thing for me is trying to get everything done (school work, housework, errands, etc) with a 2 year old boy on my heels! Thank you for participating in this giveaway!

The most challenging part is fitting everything in, so I guess time management :-)

Package B!! although package a wouldnt be so bad i would just have to save it for when he hits that age! :) my biggest challenge is keeping his attention. he would rather be doing work on the computer or playing outside then sitting down and working one on one with mommy!

Great giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win!

I would be most interested in Package B. The thing that has been most challenging for us this year is doing enough to keep my daughter entrigued. She is moving through everyrhing alot faster than I thought she would and I am afraid of her getting bored! So...that is our challenge at the moment!

I would love to win package A. The hardest thing about this school year has been finding time to do everything we want to do. With 3-4 hours of school in the morning and some free play time in the afternoon and a million field trips we want to take we haven't had much time for friends.

Hello,

Package B please! My biggest challenge this year is time management. With a 21 month old who likes to have all of mommy's time it's difficult to teach the older children.

Thank you for your giveaway.

Sincerely,
Kathleen

I would love to win pkg B! The most difficult thing this year (just beginning preschool) has been transitioning from very casual "play-learning" to actual school/learning time. I still want to keep it casual and fun, but without a little structure it has been difficult to determine her grasp of things.

I would love bundle 2.

Well it's the first year and the first child being homeschooled! SO, we are trying to get into a groove and still have fun and enjoy each other. Day 16 done! My biggest struggle right now is not getting to caught up in doing it perfectly. I remind myself it doesn't have to be done a certain way. Plus the two toddlers are always an added bonus challenge. Life is busy. We'd love either package. Pkg A would last a long time for the up and coming crew. Thanks for sharing!

Package B! My hardest challenge is focusing on both my preschooler and 1st grader at the same time as well as my 10 month old while keeping up on my household duties!!! It's hard keeping everyone happy.

I would love to win package B! Even though my oldest is in first grade, she is having so much trouble paying attention in school every day because she is so bored. So it would be nice to have some higher grade stuff for her to play with when she gets home. The poor baby gets home everyday and begs for me to do extra schooling with her because she wants to learn so bad!

I'm having a great deal of trouble deciding! How about if you draw my number, you can let me have whichever the other person doesn't want? I could use either one! If I just have to choose, I think I'd go for package B.

Both packages look great, but I would probably choose Package A because it has books my First Grader would enjoy! The most difficult thing right now is keeping distractions to a minimum. Little Brother always wants to be in the middle of everything! heyjade[at]gmail

My top pick would be package A. My biggest challenge is planning our schooling time and occupying the baby while I teach the other two. Plus keeping up with the housework while finding time to teach is a challenge too. Thanks for this amazing giveaway.

I would like package A or B. My biggest dilemna is keeping up school and home equally. If we have a great day at school dinner will probably be late but if I catch up on laundry we have to skip a subject or 2 :(

Tim, Allyson, and kids said…
We'd love package B.

Our biggest challenge so far has been finding time to teach our oldest the skills she needs that the younger kids aren't ready for. They all want to do school and really want to do the same activities. (Our children are 4, 3, 19 months, and a newborn.)

Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love Package A! This is our first year homeschooling, so where should I start?! I am struggling to find time to spend one on one with my toddler, I am getting a lot of 'you are my mom, not my teacher' attitude from my 2nd grader, and I am learning that my perfectionism is NOT a good thing for our journey! There you have it! : /

Thank you for the opportunity to win!

I would want the package #2 to use with my son CJ. The most challenging thing so far this year was dealing with mama drama at the home-schooling co-op that I was supposed to be teaching English at. Luckily some of the moms are still supportive and I'll still be able to teach.

I would prefer package A, but either would be great. I have a 1 year old, 1st grader, 4th grader and 5th grader this year. The hardest thing for me this year is getting into a normal schedule for the kids. We have already had to take time off for broken bones and surgeries. I hope the rest of the year goes a little smoother for us. Thanks! cwitherstine at zoominternet dot net

Oh this is a hard one... I have kids in both levels but I think I am going to have to go with package A... lots of fun stuff for my oldest. The most challenging subject I have found is math. Without a doubt. Not teaching it, but making it fun and understandable at the same time. My e-mail is in my profile if you click on my name. :)

Thank you so much for this opportunity. I think we would really use package A and put it to good use.

Probably finding time for everything in 1 day is what I struggle with. My children love to read so much that it seems we spend most of our days reading. :)

Package B please. This is my first year and the hardest thing so far has been our inconsistent schedule. My husband travels alot so when he's not here, life is off kilter. Then when he is here, it's hard to focus because we all want to spend time together.

Package B for me please! I would say that the most challenging thing this year (our first official year with an official K-er) is just balancing our time. Some things just HAVE to get done this year as with last year it was more laid back. However, I don't want to leave my little guys out of the loop. So we've had to toss and rewrite and toss and rewrite and toss and rewrite our daily schedule. :)

Package B. The hardest part of homeschooling this year is having a 9th grader, 1st grader and trying to teach my 5 year old who has Austsm and Sensory Processing Disorder.

I could use either package as I have children in both age groups, but I would rather have package 1. I have 2 children which I am homechooling in the 2-5 grade. I have a 2.5 year old who wants to learn. My biggest challenges it getting the household chores done each day. I also find keeping a toddler busy while homeschool is quite difficult.

I could use package B. I am just starting out with my oldest at a pre-school/pre-k level. These would be awesome. I have trouble getting him to focus on what I want to teach him, instead he more directs me, having such great supplies might help it be less abstract for him.

We would love Package B! I have a 4 year old and a 5.5 year old (and a toddler). My biggest challenge has been trying to find time to do everything that I want to and not have my house be a complete disaster. I don't expect perfection but I do want to be able to walk through the living room! Having to juggle the needs of a demanding toddler as well is a bit of a challenge, too.

Wow, picking a package to chose is so hard! I have a preschooler, a Kindergartener, a second grader and a fifth grader (in addtion to two other kids who wouldn't want either at the moment lol). I think in the long run I'd prefer package A since I could use it now for both my 5th grader and 2nd grader and eventually my younger 3 would be able to use it as well. my email is:

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
