If you’re wanting to buy Webster’s 1828 Dictionary, now is the time. I just got notice that it is on sale 29% off, as part of CBD’s MidWeek Sales. (That means the sale ends tomorrow.)

Webster’s original dictionary is important because it is the first American dictionary, and it was written from a perspective of liberty and Biblical foundations.

If you are new to our blog and Lifestyle Education through Discipleship, this post is for you!

As a Christian homeschooling mom of a large family, I want a method of education that meets several criteria. Perhaps you’re looking for some of the same things.

1. It has to be simple enough in structure and application that it works in a busy mommy of many schedule.
2. It has to be flexible and work with the lessons and flow of real life.
3. It has to use natural learning methods that are easily incorporated into all learning, not artificial constructs.
4. It has to teach my children to be Biblical thinkers, not just “get-it-done” but really learn and most of all learn how to learn and think.
5. It has to present a comprehensive integrated view of life, not fragmented unrelated pieces.
6. It has to be family friendly – which is really mom friendly – not taking my children (and therefore my mind) all different directions, but helping us to learn together as a family.
7. Most of all, it has to glorify God and present all learning as from Him and for His purposes.

Impossible?
NO!

Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ provides just what I need – and perhaps what you are looking for too. How do I know? Because I designed it to be that. I’ve spent the 23 years I’ve been home educating, developing and designing a philosophy and methodology to meet these needs, for my own children, and to help others and their children.

Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ is Freedom & Simplicity™ in Home Education LED by the Spirit and grounded in the Word. It is Real Books and Family-friendly Natural methods  + Biblical Foundations and Reasoning for Excellence. We incorporate the best of the same methods that Charlotte Mason and the Principle Approach utilize, but more importantly it is a Biblical philosophy and methodology.

Sound like something you’d like for your home education?

I hope you’re getting as excited as I am about the upcoming Ultimate Home School Expo. And I’ve got a way that YOU could come for FREE! In fact I’ve got FOUR ways you can get your name in the drawing to increase your chances of winning!

The Expo opens May 3rd, and the hostess for the Expo, Cindy Rushton, and I just recorded my Session on Becoming a Family of Prayer, this past Monday. There are over 35 other speakers that will be there too, in addition to Vendors Booths and many Free resources. The Expo makes attending a home school conference possible for those that aren’t able to physically go to a convention. (And an extra Bonus for those of us that are able to attend on-site conventions too!)

I know that even though this is a SUPER VALUE, (at $39.95 for over $1000 worth of audios plus Vendors Booths with Special Prices, AND you can bring a friend for only $59.95 for both of you!) it still may be a stretch for some of you. How would you like a chance to win a Complimentary Ticket to the Ultimate Home School Expo (UHSE)?

Just become a Fan of Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ on Facebook and write on the Wall there the Name of the Session or Speaker that you are most excited to hear, and your name will go into the drawing. (You’ll find the Sessions listed on the UHSE Page.) When we reach 100 Fans on the NEW Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ Facebook Page, we will draw for a winner of the Complimentary Ticket!

Want more chances to win – and to speed up the drawing? Share with your friends on Facebook, that they too can become a Fan of Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ (L.E.D.) and get a chance for winning a Complimentary Ticket to the Ultimate Home School Expo! Just let me know (on the L.E.D. Page Wall) that you posted it to your FB status, and your name will go in the drawing again. And when your friends join our FB Page, we will get closer to our 100 Fans needed – and they can post what Session they’re most exited to hear and get their name in the drawing too! (You can use this shortened link to this post: http://tinyurl.com/leduhse )

But, the pot gets even sweeter! Because once we reach 100 Fans on our L.E.D. FB Page, we will give a FREE L.E.D. Exclusive Resource to ALL the L.E.D. Page Fans!

Not on Facebook? (or just want another chance?) You can also enter the drawing by subscribing to our email list (and confirming your subscription,) and leaving a comment here noting that you joined the email list, and the Name of the Session or Speaker that you are most excited to hear. This will get your name in the drawing, but not help us to toward the time of the drawing (when we reach 100 Fans on the L.E.D. FB Page.)

If you’ve got a blog, you can tell your readers about this drawing, and if they are on Facebook, they can join our L.E.D. Page, to speed up the drawing (and FREE L.E.D. Exclusive Resource offer) – and they can post on our Wall and get their name in the drawing. Post a comment here and a link to your blog post announcing this, and your name will go into the drawing (again.)

Wow! So many ways to increase your chances of winning. Just to recap:

1) Become a Fan of our Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ Facebook Page, and comment on the Wall the name of the UHSE Session or Speaker you are most excited to hear.

2) Share about this drawing on your Facebook Status Update. Be sure to include the link, and to let me know (on the L.E.D. Page Wall) that you posted this. Post something to the effect of: Win a Free Ticket to the Ultimate Home School Expo! Join the Lifestyle Education through Discipleship Fan Page. Details: http://frommeandmyhouse.com/blog-led/2010/04/21/home-school-expo-for-free/

(Sorry about the long link. FB isn’t allowing the shortened one I had.)

3) Subscribe to our email list for our monthly newsletter, Me & My House musings, (and confirm your subscription,) and comment below (or on the L.E.D. Page Wall) that you’ve done so (and note in the comment the UHSE Session or Speaker you are most excited to hear, if you haven’t previously done so.)

4) Blog about this Free Drawing, and post a comment here that you’ve done so. (Be sure to include the link to this blog page and the invitation to join the Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ FB Page in your blog post, and your blog post link here in the comments.)

Don’t Delay! The Expo begins May 3rd!
We need 100 Fans on our Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ Fan Page before we draw for the winner!
And we want that to be yet this week!

I will post here and on the L.E.D. Page Wall when we have a Winner!

ONE Winner will receive the Complimentary Ticket to the Ultimate Home School Expo. (No substitutions.)

Even if you don’t win the Complimentary Ticket, you can pick yours up by clicking any of the Ultimate Home School Expo links (or the banner) in this post. You’re still getting a great deal.

EVERYONE will be a Winner on the Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ Fan Page and receive a Complimentary L.E.D. Exclusive Resource!
