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?
We had hamburgers for dinner last night, a quick meal before prayer meeting, after getting the tomatoes transplanted into our community garden plot. K kept pointing to the veggie topping plate, and I kept handing her leaf lettuce. After a Continue reading She likes to eat…raw onions?
K loves her shoes. If she is wearing her sneakers, she will bring me her white T-Straps, and ask, "Augh?" meaning I want whatever I’m indicating. Then she’ll settle down on my lap and let me change her shoes. She Continue reading My Shoe Girl
