This summer, we took it easy, REALLY EASY, and the kiddo thanked me. Since we homeschool, I usually attempt to schedule some schoolwork during the summer. Nothing too crazy, just a bit of reading, and math. My usual goal is to have 20-30 lessons complete by the end go July, […]

3 years in Texas, it’s starting to feel like home.
The kiddo was at camp last week. She had such a great time. Making new friends, trying new things, cool and exciting experiences, and making memories. This week she’s at rock band camp. Hard to believe that we’ve been in Texas for 3 years now. THREE YEARS! I miss the […]

Homeschooling a Pre-teen
