So it has been pretty quiet on Spell Outloud this summer. I’ve been taking a little break and working on organizing my house. Normal people do a little at a time during the year, but I’m tackling it all once this summer. I really need to start following Nony the Slob’s advice!
In fact this past week I’ve done over 40 loads of laundry (overhauled the linen closet plus regular laundry), had a garage sale, and am switching out kids’ bedrooms. Yes the house is a wreck. Since I will be spending my time in the throes of organizing and cleaning instead of blogging, I thought it would be fun to have something special just for you. Check out the giveaway below!

Car repairs. Our only car is in the shop! Big drag for the summer break!
hmmm…i’m sure something would come to mind if i was the winner :))
I would love to win this as I will be homeschooling 2 kids this year and need to buy some more supplies and curriculum.
I would finish purchasing curriculum. :). And a new vacuum. Lol. I can’t concentrate with dust and pet hair floating around )
I could use this $ right about now! Pick me! Pick me!
Wow. We would either repair our car too, or pay for my son’s medical bills (ongoing). What a giveaway!
Have fun with your house organizing. It’s work, but it is a little fun, too, right? I tend to do bigger overhauls every so often when I can, too.
Oh my goodness… I would be able to afford ALL of the curriculum I want, not just part of it, if I won this raffle! Thank you for the chance to win!!!!!
I would put it towards a car.
I spend it on new computer.
I wouls spend it on my new curriculum for grade three and preschool.also getting ekuleles for our new instruments for this year
Already like spell out loud on fb
Ok scratcj that i live in canada pout pout
with 3 kids and #4 on the way, this would definitely be nice!
My husband lost his job and is having a time finding work, so I’d use the $500 for Target for food, etc. I just might buy myself a new outfit…is it wrong I’m still wearing maternity clothes and I gave birth in 2007? LOL! May the Lord bless you all for offering such a wonderful giveaway!
$500 . . . . I would use it to help pay for my iPad that the kids are truly using for school. The engineer thinks it is a purchase for me. Alas, no it really is for the kids. 🙂 But I am going to use it for one blogging conference. {grin} But to be honest, I did pay for the kids iPad. I collected their birthday money the past few months. So quite honestly, we REALLY need/want a new kitchen table from Ikea. We have no room to fit all our family and then have guests. So a new table . . . for eating, fellowship and school.
I could sure use cash for school supplies!
We would definitely buy our new curriculum (especially All About Reading and All About Spelling!) We don’t really have the money to buy new curriculum this year and are just trying to make do with what we have and can find for free! This would be a HUGE blessing!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
A much needed night getaway with my husband and then a day with our kids at an amusement park!
I would spend it on books and craft materials for my boys, and fun pre-k curriculum or activities as my oldest enters that stage.
I would definitely use the cash to buy curriculum!!! I’ve got 6 fabulous kiddos – 5 of them are ‘in school’ and it can get expensive! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
If I won I would use the money towards fun educational supplements for my 2girls homeschooling adventure that we might not otherwise be able to afford. Thanks for the great opportunity.
I would use it to help with our upcoming Disney trip!
If I won 500 dollars, I would put it towaed my Australia fund. I’m traveling with my mother who wants to fulfill her ‘bucket list’. Austrailia is on that list and we will be so able to check it off quicker with 500 dallars added to the FUNd! 😉
Would use the $500 on my remaining curriculum purchases and the rest would go to our field trip fund.
I would use the $500 to purchase school books/supplies, pay my car insurance, and maybe some other things that I haven’t been able to afford.
If I won 500 dollars, I would put it toward giving a COMPLETE tithe to the Lord. I’ve been convicted by Malachi 3 this week.
I would use the $500.00 to go to my older children that could use a helping hand…. I thought at first to buy more items for the play yard since I’m re-doing that for the day care kids, but helping my kids would be more important. 🙂

Oh Man… I would be able to afford ALL of the curriculum I want, not just part of it, if I won this raffle! Thank you for the chance to win!!!!!
I would use it to either buy homeschool curriculum or pay of some bills..or both. 🙂
I would use $500 for homeschool curriculum for next year. Those “extras” sure add up!
Well our student loans have yet to fund from summer term. We should have had a check a month ago. Our savings is now completely depleted and we have bills to pay so I’d use it temporarily to help us pay our bills. When the loan funds I would use that $500 to finish off the amount I need to pay for me to take my Babywearing Institute courses. I really really really want to take these courses so I can better help the parents in the babywearing group I started and maybe be able to make a little cash so we don’t have to get as much in student loans while my hubby is working on his PhD.
I would love to win this, I mean, who wouldn’t! I would use the funds to buy some clothing, for my kids and myself. Also, there are always the “extras” we homeschoolers would love to have but are never in the budget; you know what I’m talking about!
finish buying my curriculum for the year:)
I would use the $500 towards curriculum items and boards games for my 4 yr old.
I would use the money for a few things we weren’t able to purchase for this year for our homeschool curriculum. Thank you for the chance! Such an amazing giveaway.
Altough I´m not a homeschool mom, we could use that money to pay full inscription for our kids in a private school so they dont go to a public mexican school ( they doesn´t have a great curriculum as in a private) thanks for the opportunity
Wishfully I would get a nice big rug for my classroom. Realistically, bills 🙁
I would take my family on a trip to the Creation Museum and stop by Ikea to buy fun organizing products!!
I’d put it towards new items for the home we’re currently building.
food
This would be wonderful! I could purchase fall/winter clothing for my children and organizational products for homeschooling.
I would spend it on clothes for my new teaching job and toys for my new puppy!
grocery, bills and next year’s curriculum
We’d use it to help get settled into our new home. The move is this week and we have a lot of work to do!
A getaway for me and hub before this 3rd baby gets here!
I would use the money to help buy a new stove and refrigerator, mine are all, but gone.
I unfortunately do not home school. I am a teacher of Science for 11th and 12th graders with mild learning disabilities . I would spend my money towards a field trip for my students. I am working on a sustainable farming curriculum. I would love to take my students to local farms, or use the money mot buy seeds to grow our own produce for our schools culinary program.
We would love an IPad! Thanks for doing the giveaway!
I would go ahead and order my curriculum…finally!
I would use it for my kids college textbooks
If I wanted to splurge – I would find a clinic to ride my horse in.
If I wanted to be practical – I would make a couple extra payments on my vehicle loan!
If I won 500$ I’d definitely get an iPad! Their educational apps are so awesome!
Curriculum for the 4 kids. So many choices out there but I finally settled on our plan for next year and this would go a long way!!
I would use it on behalf of my son and advocating on behalf of his extra special educational needs. THANKS!
Books and a membership to the local children’s museum. 🙂
Well I’d love to say I’d spend it on myself, but Im pretty sure it would get spent on the kids.
A washer and dryer – we are moving to a new place and need to purchase a washer and dryer for the first time and with two young kiddos this is a must!
Finish the shelves in our hall bath so I can get the stuff that belongs there out of my school room.
An iPad. It’s been on my wish list for a long time! Thanks!
I would finish buying my kids’ school books for next year.
I would buy some of our next years curriculum and then fill our little home library with books! 🙂
Wow… there are so many things I need to spend it on! Probably would put it towards a new washer and dryer… They are 14 years old and on their last legs.
My husband just lost his job, due to cutbacks. I would put the full amount into buying curriculum for my kids. What a great win this would be at a great time.
wow! where do I begin….I would set aside enough to pay for piano lessons till the new year. donate some to my daughter’s american heritage girls troop, take our homeschool group on a field trip, buy our baseball team new catchers gear and then what ever was left-sharpie fine point pens for me 🙂
I would use it to buy fall clothes for the kiddos, and more goodies for homeschool this year. 🙂
Buy books and toys for the baby and preschooler!
Wow! What a blessing $500 would be! I would probably try to stretch it as much as possible and put it towards different funds…
1) Travel fund
2) Classroom supplies
3) Savings
4) Loans
Thank you!
I would use this money to buy some games and toys for my 3 kids.
I’m sure I would use it on school stuff or books! But maybe a little bit at my favorite fabric stores or embroidery supplies. 🙂
I would either put it towards my rent or tuition for school.
I would use it to sign up for HSLDA and the local support group for starters. Then we’d go on a few awesome field trips!!
books, books, and more books plus curriculum and maybe cloth diapers too 🙂
Maybe some school supplies. The “needs” never end.
It would be hard to choose what to spend it on…it would be fun to buy something I want instead of needed. Like maybe a new camera that I’ve had my eyes on FOREVER!!! 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win…now I need to get back to some organizing of my own…
