When I first started thinking about home schooling my sister put this book in my hands and I read it cover-to-cover at least three times.

It was rough ya’ll, I am not even going to try to tell you anything else other than it was H.A.R.D. But waking up in the morning, before the… Read More My Week in Review: August 31st -Sept. 4th
Our official first day of school is August 24th, just hours away now. We all have been enjoying the much needed break from all the books and regular school year activities.
