It’s scary, the amount of money teenagers spend nowadays – on food, clothing, movies, games and entertainment. Living in the 21st century, there seems to be an ever increasing number of items teenagers can splurge on, at the expense of their parents.

(Ask me how we know! )

In this report, you’ll hear some typical teenagers speak about the issues and problems they face in an unrestrained manner.

You’ll learn some key insights into teen spending habits, some of which you do not know even existed. And you’ll learn how to help your teens guard against the temptations to overspend and be better stewards of their finances. PDF ebook, 18 pages

Managing the Multi-level Homeschool An Audio Workshop from Malia Russell, Homemaking 911 www.homemaking911.com

Malia writes of this excellent audio workshop:
“With several children in different grades, it can be difficult to keep everyone on track and moving at the appropriate pace. This practical workshop will teach you the ideas and techniques we (and others) have employed to effectively manage many grades at once. While Homeschooling my four children (and at times babysitting others full-time), I spent a significant amount of time researching and learning from mothers of many more children than I had. Using their wisdom, I put these to work for me and am so glad I did! Change the mayhem to peace and order, and get the important things accomplished in your home school day.”

This mp3 download is from Malia’s recent live broadcast at the Ultimate Homeschool Expo. It includes the workshop and the Questions and Answer period at the end of the workshop. Be sure to print out the listeners guide for additional help and information.

You Are There: July 4th, 1776 (mp3 audio) – In this great half hour audio dramatization, we journey back to the hot, sweltering summer of 1776 in Philadelphia, where representatives from each of the thirteen original colonies have gathered as the Continental Congress to take a common stand and change the course of history. “You Are There” was a classic radio series that dramatized pivotal historic events as if real reporters had been on the scene, recording the proceedings and interviewing the participants – as we hear in this recreation of this fateful day as the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence!
