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?
As a part of Massachusett’s re-opening, we got to go to church, then my extended family and friend Kevin went hiking. It was so good. This spring is so lovely, the times are not. Mom has found a way into Continue reading Last Sunday we hiked 6 miles by accident
Dan took Matt and K to Capron Park on Saturday to wave bubbles, it was overcast, and moist days are the best for bubbles. (Dan will be writing one of guest series soon about all things bubbles). K decided to Continue reading Summer photos
