The one thing I love about winter is that it forces us to be inside a little bit more. I do love sleding, ice skating, and playing in the snow; but I also love curling up with a good book next to the fire. Reading is important to me, and I am so glad that […]
I love the winter holidays. It’s a great time to hibernate and take time to reconnect after a busy fall schedule. My family tends to stay indoors during the break more than usual because we feel crowded out by all the other families that are on break from school. Since we spend so much time at home […]
One of the biggest reasons why I love homeschoolng so much is that my kids get to follow their own interests. One of those interests is learning to code at a young age.
