Establishing a home “breakroom”

Yesterday I was with sitting in my backyard with my daughter after the majority of the day was overcast and rainy, enjoying the few hours of sunshine in the afternoon.  There was this little breeze that just barley touched my skin and would occasionally give me goose bumps.  My daughter was splashing in our pool and laughing, and it was just one of those picture perfect moments that you read about in a book.

The Wonder of Women

The Wonder of Women

I was scrolling through Twitter the other day and happened upon a post of someone (honestly can’t remember who), a woman, criticizing the star of Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot.  She basically said that she was excited for a female superhero movie, but couldn’t understand why they had to pick Gal as the lead because she was “too sexy.” I’m going to let that soak for a moment.

Homeschool Summer Planning

There are SO MANY homeschool curriculum choices and they can honestly get very overwhelming – even for someone who’s been homeschooling for a few years.  This year we are looking at a combination/blend of Charlotte Mason, Thomas Jefferson Education, and Sonlight.  It’s an interesting mix…
