My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
No one is currently running a fever, though neither Dan nor I are exactly peppy. I’ve been trying to start kitchen table school earlier-ish after turning off my computer so I will not be the distracto Mom. Also to get Continue reading Paper Boats
So that is what pneumonia felt like. I can now read those novels with sick characters and understand it. I have laryngitis too. We have now had about a month off of school, minus little bits we got in after Continue reading I Didn’t Dodge the Pneumonia
I’m holding off on writing a “What didn’t work in 2016” post because I’m already feeling gloomy, I’m still digging out of flu chores, and I keep remembering things I could have added to the what did work post, which Continue reading Getting Organized for January

Last summer Dan announced that he wanted to take me to the New York Sheep and Wool Festival for our anniversary, and reserved us a room before I could object on practical or budget reasons. Dan took off both Friday Continue reading I Got to Go to Rhinebeck a cross post from ChristineGuestDesigns
