Our curriculum is ready for T’s first day of homeschooling tomorrow, all tucked in to her workbox system. I’m excited to put all the assessments and prep and organizing of the last week to use. Jumping in, two feet first.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t really expecting a backlash by posting about our decision to homeschool. Maybe that is because I’ve never personally judged someone for making that decision. Maybe it’s because every homeschooled child I have ever met has been bright, polite, social, kind and very smart.

But we also didn’t want to sue anyone. We wanted […]

Tuckered out after getting up at 4:45 am this morning with a bad dream and not going back to sleep. She almost made it to the bathroom to take a bath, the door is *right there*. The arguement as Jase lifted her up, all limp noodle like, and gave her a bath was priceless. She kept fussing at him for keeping her awake in the tub. I could picture the scowl and I wasn’t even in the room. Bless his heart. Surely, at some point, she’ll stop doing this and I can get the book printed. I’ve enjoyed this series of images so much, they make me laugh and I […]
