Cindy Rushton

 

Cindy Rushton has quite a following. She has lots of materials that greatly bless and encourage the homeschool community. Many of her books are part of a series "The Easy way". Personally, I have owned Notebooking, You Can Be A Binder Queen. It was a great book and got me thinking about homeschooling in different ways than I had been. The way she writes is very energetic. She has different classes and bundles going on sale all the time. A few neat things Cindy has are Training Sons Training Daughters and Organized Mom Super Set and stuff on writing.

Anyway, her stuff is very reasonable, but she does have a freebies page!
