Ladies of Hive: My Entry to Community Contest #1
First, I'd like to thank @romeskie for the tag to join this community's first-ever contest. Upon checking, I saw that the contest is due to end tomorrow, October 4th, and here goes my entry.
Here's the contest link for more information:
Ladies of Hive Community Contest #1
If you would get 100 dollars now, what would be the first thing you would do with that amount?
There are three questions raised in the contest post, and the above is what I chose to answer.
Where I'm at (UAE), $100 is equivalent to AED 367 in our local currency. This amount can go as easily in one dine in at our favorite restaurant, or a pair of suit, or stretch for a grocery budget for 2 weeks.
The thing is, money is too easy to spend. It just depends on what your needs or priorities are.
We are a family that does not really spend on lavish or extravagant clothing, expensive restaurants, and such. The places we go to are either free or sponsored. Good thing, there are lots of great family-friendly places to visit here that are free.
Homeschool Resources
Anyone who knows me knows that we are homeschooling. There's now three of them and though it is much cheaper than going to a traditional school, it still requires a big chunk of the budget to educate three.
If I were to get a chance to get my hands on an extra $100, it would go for books and resources we require for homeschool this year, particularly books to complete my eldest's. I have already completed the books of my youngest and my little girl, but my eldest still needs books for History and Geography, and Language Arts.
There you have it! My entry for the Ladies of Hive Community Contest.
I am inviting @erangvee, @sherylneil, @diosarich, @jurich60 to join this contest. You still have a day, ladies. 😜 I wish to see your entries.
Yey! Sumali na siyaaaa. Thanks mamsh! Nag iipon na rin ako ng mga books for my little girl's homeschooling. Parang freestyle homeschooling pa kami ngayon dahil di pa siya wede ienroll kaya kung ano ang makita kong may magandang review, dampot na agad sa bookstore. Hehe
Ay, finally nga. Nakasali na rin. Pero hindi na talaga ako nakagawa ng intro post. Haha.
Hindi pa rin kami naka enroll formally for this school year. I'm thinking of enrolling directly with a homeschooling partner in US para mas mura, or kung hindi man, sa December cycle kami mag eenroll sa current provider namin. Either way, we're already starting with the lessons now and just compiling our portfolio para hindi kami ma-late sa lessons (advantage of homeschooling!). Although, I'm still following the curriculum recommendations of our provider.

Ahh... books! Money well spent!
Yes! Though I'd say years back it would be for myself. Now it's for the kids. 😂
Homeschooling huh? Considering the poor quality of my own local school system that is run by corporations and special interest groups there is a good arguement for Homeschooling.
Thanks for Sharing your choice @arrliinn and Welcome to Ladies of Hive!
Yeah, homeschooling 3 kids and it could really get challenging but of course, rewarding too. 😍
Very good goal to spend it on, I'd say :)
Yeah, thanks! 😍
What a great idea!
To spend that money of furthering your children's education is an excellent choice and an excellent investment as that $100 would last them a lifetime.
Goodluck and I hope that all of your hopes and dreams become a reality. 😀
Dear @arrliinn thank you for joining the contest and doing it accordingly the rules
I loved your entry and indeed the homeschooling is the best to spend the 100 I wish we could give 1000 to you ! I know homeschool is a challenge and the kids are our future thanks for setting a invitation to the other three ladies
Well done thankx
I'm so happy to finally be in this community filled with awesome ladies. Thanks for hosting this contest and for appreciating my response. 😍
That would be a great thing to do. You can never have enough books for education and it's so important to have the proper education for the future.
Totally agree. Books can take us to many different places and and adventures. I'd really love my kids to be keen readers and book lovers too. 😍
Hmm, am late. I just read this now, my signal was bad the past days, raining hard in our area. Your choice is the best one, mother dear.Books are really important.
Thanks po! Join kayo, may contest ulit sila this week.
