CampusBookRentals.com and Operation Smile

-
It's about that time of year again, college students, where you start to study for finals (right??? yes, you should be doing that!). It's also that time of the year where your parents are buying you Christmas gifts, leaving their pocketbooks a little less full to buy your books for next semester. What to do...

Well, one way to help lower the costs of buying book is to NOT buy them. No, I'm not saying that you shouldn't get the books, but why BUY when you can RENT from campusbooktentals.com?

You save 40%-90% off of bookstore prices (which, I remember, are expensive!).

They offer FREE shipping BOTH ways (there isn't much of a better perk than that).

You don't have to return the books in pristine conditions - you can highlight in the books even!

There's flexible rental periods.

And campusbookrentals.com donates to Operation Smile with each rented textbook (a business with a heart!).

Also, if you're looking to MAKE cash, check out RentBack, an initiative that allows students to rent the textbooks they own to other students! You can make 2-4 times MORE using this website than you would at regular book buy backs - wow! More money for you to buy Mom or Dad something nice for paying your tuition.

Check out how it works below.



I hope you have a great experience with campusbookrentals.com and RentBack. I really hope you save money this way; I know how awesome a little extra in your pockets can be when you're in school! Happy Holidays!

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-
Image
Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

-
Image
Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

We Choose Virtues (review & giveaway!)

-
Image
I almost think I needed this Kids Kit from We Choose Virtues almost as much as my sons. I mean, check out this list: patience, kindness, obedience, diligence, forgiving, attentive, etc. I have such problems with patience and attentive (anyone else get distracted by stuff online?)! So I know that it's important to teach these virtues to my children, too (and learn alongside them). Jesus was patient, forgiving, obedient, diligent, forgiving, attentive, self-controlled, content, etc. We are supposed to imitate Jesus and so I thought this was a good way to help me teach them how to do that. image from the WCV website Like I said, I reviewed the Kids Kit. It came with a Kids Virtue Poster (that tells all of the virtues & sayings that go along with them), one Fan Poster (your choice; a large poster that shows one virtue and saying), Virtues Clues & a clear acrylic card holder (business card sized cards with one virtue per card), "I'm a Virtue Kid" button, The
