How do people in the Northwest do it?
It has been rainy for 3 days past forever. Approximately. Five weeks into my girls’ softball season and all but one of their games has been canceled–and it looks like tonight’s game is rained out, too. Stuck in the house with sick kids, we can’t even make a run to the Chick-Fil-A indoor play ground. […]

And then, more particularly, can […]

Back to school?
Tomorrow is the first day of school at our house. No, that’s not right. On Monday we will start our lessons. That’s not it, either. On September 3, we will resume slightly more structured lessons for the older children. That’s better. Or is it? Home education renders useless a lot of the terms that are […]
