It's time to start gearing up for summer reading programs.
You can read about a few different ways to spend time this summer and score some free books and more. Just got to my other blog posting at Summer Reading Program .
The Proverbs 31 woman is a challenge to all of us. This blog is an attempt to apply "She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar" (ESV) in my everyday life through couponing and money-savings tips. Here I share what I do and learn.

Saving money on college text books
For those who may not know, my husband is in college. Well, hopefully, he'll be finished after this semester, so we won't have too much longer to use this wonderful idea, so I thought I'd pass it on. I actually got the idea from a homeschool group.
Mike almost didn't make it to classes this semester because we literally had no money for his textbooks. It was disheartening since it was the last semester, but you know most of those textbooks easily run $50-100 each!
He was able to do classes after all thanks to the public library. All of his books were available through inter-library loans. Some were an edition or two off, but that's not usually a major deal.
Who would have thought about getting your textbooks for free from the library!! Well, obviously someone did!
