Can you stand another one so soon? I have to report that as of today (that being day 9 of this homeschooling year) we are STILL making it to the table at 9:00 am. Who’da thunk it? Turns out the one who needed discipline was me. Every morning I set the timer to go off … [Read more…]
A friend of mine sent me this video… I’ll have to update this post because I can’t remember right off-hand how she got this video (whether a friend actually attended this wedding or not), but I wanted y’all to see it. At first I was a bit put off by it — after all, a … [Read more…]
