I'm glad I found your site...I'm a public school educator with an interest in homeschooling. I'll definitely be checking back to read about how the curriculum you use works with the learning potential present in everyday life. Good stuff...
Thank you for being the rock I need in homeschooling. I have floundered quite a bit this year due to all the stress I am going through. I hope to do better but have been feeling very overwhelmed and bad about myself. I need to smack myself and get back to a good routine. I love your blog and appreciate you.
