I don't know what I'd do without Target...for so many areas of my life. My husband says that Target love is divided down gender lines. Every single women I know gets giddy at the mention of the store and my husband says that when Target is brought up at work all of the men roll their eyes. Obviously it has to do with spending.
Women are classically the ones to make a house a home, so it makes sense that we enjoy all of the seasonal decorations, home goods, and things we didn't know we couldn't live without, while men traditionally watch the pocketbooks. Both charicteristics are needed and should be appreciated in a relationship. At least those are my two cents.
Anyway, I had an exciting trip to Target Tuesday night. I walked in with the sole purpose of returning a few things and happened to glance at the dollar section at the front of the store. And a light bulb went on...I realized that they probably had just received some new items since it was just past the 4th of July. And I was right!
I headed over there and proceeded to find 27 items I needed. And all were home education-related. I found flash cards, a wipeable map of the United States with facts for each state, dry erase practice boards for printing, cursive writing, and math, some workbooks for my pre-K daughter to do while I'm working with my 1st grade son, a few novels I've been wanting to read aloud to the kids, some math, time, and number bingo games, and more! I was smiling ear to ear when I left, thinking of friends I needed to call to let in on the new shipment secret.
So, if you're looking for some things to keep your children busy for the remainder of summer, or are like me and looking for some bargains to pepper your homeschooling day, check out your local Target store! But shhh, don't tell my husband! (:
