How is that for an oxymoron?
We are a public school family that schools at home. I’ve talked about homeschooling before, but this time of year I always feel a bit compelled to rattle on about it. There are many families like us and will be many more to come, I am sure.
First thing first. We [...]

It is that time of year when the weather breaks. The girls want to get outdoors, I want to get outdoors. y garden list is growing, their must-do list has grown all winter.
