My First Usborne Facebook Party – My Free Books Haul!

One of my goals this past year was to fill up my kids’ book shelves with more books!
I want to encourage them to read and offer new and exciting books for them to dive into.
I love having those moments of snuggling up and reading a book with them.
One of those magical moments of motherhood has to be when you see your kids reading to each other.
I love seeing Sophia reading to her siblings or Sienna and Micah giggling over a funny book.

A blog reader, Mary, messaged me about hosting a Facebook Party with Usborne Books & More!
and told me about how, based on the sales of the party,
I’ll get to go on a free book shopping spree after!! Um… YES. PLEASE.
So I did it and was HOOKED. I loved how she shared so many great books and
tips for promoting literacy in your own home.
She was speaking my language!
I decided after my first Facebook party that I wanted to keep on earning
free books and to share them with more people!
It’s insane really if you think about it.All you do is invite your friends to discover great books and then you chat
during the 1 hour party on Facebook, from the comfort of your home
with snacks and yoga pants on…and earn free books.
(Here’s some shots from the video that’s below! xoxo)

I joined as a consultant and they added me to the closed Facebook group.
It’s filled with resources and graphics and a community that’s excited
about the books and everyone helps each other out!
I needed some book ideas…hopped on there and everyone linked their favorites!
The Facebook parties are automated once you set that all up…
so then during the actual party I just chat with everyone and share book suggestions.
I’m currently working towards earning the Disney trip next summer!

(I’ll share a little consultant info here…
because I get asked every time I post anything Usborne related.
If you want MORE details just email or comment!)

As a blogger, I get asked weekly, multiple times, to join some sort of team or business.
There are a few reasons I decided to join Usborne Books & More...
but the main reason is it just fit me.
I’m passionate about it and I know a lot of my people feel the same way!
Within my first week of doing this (4 parties) I hit the first monthly goal.
It’s very doable. You get paid every Wednesday and you don’t have to spend anything each
month to get your pay check! (direct deposit for me.)
You can do as little or as much as you want!
I have 19 parties booked. The average payment for a consultant is $100 a party…..
Some parties don’t get that much..some get more.
But once you get the bones of it set up…it’s just fun!
With each party you’ll end up finding people that want to host their own parties…
It’s just a snowball of book loving!
You can do home parties, Facebook parties or just link your shop page
and get commission off each sale!
One of the best parts of this whole consultant thing has been being able to message my
hostesses letting them know how much money they get to spend!
The only thing you pay for is the starter kit.
I did the mini one $75 because I already had a lot of their books!
(You renew your website later on as well. for $50.)
You get bonuses in free books and $$…
and make commission off of all of your sales. (average 25% and up)
My mom used these books for us as kids…I’m excited to now be
getting more and more for my own kids! FOR FREE!
You can Find out more info about joining us Here. 

Maybe you don’t want to host a party..or become a consultant…
but are just looking for great books for your kids.
In the video I share the books I chose for my kids. They love them! Especially the flap books.
Super engaging and I love seeing them dive into these books.
Happy to answer any more questions about the books…
I’m really just so in love with the quality and content they offer.

Micah has been asking for a Dino birthday party so I know I need to add some of these to our collection.
I need to brush up on my dinosaur name skills. haha.

Since I earn both money and books as a consultant…
I gave my girls the catalog to circle things they might like…
EVERYTHING was circled. haha.
(I get it. I want to do the same thing.)
When Sienna discovered their Fairy Pony series… dreams came true. ;)
Excited to add more to our book shelves.
I have over $100 of free books earned this week to go shopping with!
CRAZY. I know. Do you like free books??
That’s a silly question.
Yes. Yes you do.
