I have so many big thoughts and feelings about homeschool this year that it was a challenge to get words put down, but I think I finally did! To start, this year we will have a third grader, a first grader, and a preschooler. While we now have the added variable of a fourth child, […] Read more…
Do you guys miss the old hey-days of blogging? I do. I felt inspired to write a newsy life update today. I love going back and reading old posts like these. (I actually have about eight year’s worth now!) A lot of this is lengthy notes from Baby Land, where I know I will lose […] Read more…

Well, here we are, in 2017, beginning this second week of the new year with a homeschool re-do! Last August we had planned to start K.K. in kindergarten, but I went in unprepared in every way. To make a very long story short, we quit after two weeks and I was low-key depressed about it […] Read more…
