Merry Christmas!

It's almost Christmas, and I wanted to take a minute to say Merry Christmas! This has been a busy season, and we just finished our annual Christmas Unit Study co-op on the USAB Facebook page with 6,000+ friends (twice as many as last year)--one of our most popular events yet! All kinds of learning ideas, crafts, and photos were shared, and encouragement blossomed. Thanks to all who joined the adventure, and keep an eye out for the Easter Unit Study co-op, scheduled to begin March 4, 2013. As you read this, I'm putting the final touches on a very special blog series that begins on December 26th, written to help make your homeschooling journey one that is successful, simple, and captivating for all involved. Don't miss "When It's Time for a Change"--you will find it here on the USAB blog. Homeschooling can be an exciting adventure that helps to reveal the special gifts and talents of each child, and it doesn't have to be complex, dreaded, or complicated! Before I forget, please watch your email on the morning of December 26th for details on our HUGE 12 Days of Christmas sale and a fantastic giveaway that you will NOT want to miss! This event will offer eye-popping, jaw-dropping prices, and the giveaway involves something that many homeschool moms (and kids) have on their wish lists! And now I am heading off to get ready for a very special evening with my family, giving thanks for the clan gathered here this year! Thank you for the most amazing year--for your support and your trust. Merry Christmas to you and your family!   Blessings, Amanda B.
