Okay, I'm running out of ideas for contests and still have lots of stuff to give away. I bet all of you are tons more creative than I am, so post your contest ideas here! If I use your idea, you'll get to choose a prize from the list. :smile2:

How about suggestions on how Moms are going to "pamper" themselves this summer, or suggestions for a good summer read (besides how-to homeschool books)

what about a contest for the best project ideas(hands on ideas for kids)? Cheap field trip ideas? Best way to motivate children to learn?

I vote for the best field trip that you have ever attended.

Ways to teach life skills as we all tend to do book school more.

I'd like to get ideas on how to keep the house clean with homeschooling, tweens, toddlers and babies at home.

i like the field trip idea too!

how about tips on motivating the teacher! lol! i have read and heard that the first year is the hardest (yikes!) and i know i would love to know tips from the seasoned moms on how they stay motivated!

or tips/advice on how to include siblings that aren't homeschooled. how do you keep the balance with the whole family, something like that.

Angie, I'm currently using project ideas and field trip suggestions as contest topics. Since you were the first one to mention these, you get to choose a prize from the list on the Contests page at http://www.carolinahomeschooler.com/contests.htm Let me know what you want via private message and it'll be on its way to you. :smile2:

What about the best quick and easy lunch recipes for kids. Our lunches become boring often and I would love to get some ideas on how to mix it up a bit.
