Many years ago on this blog, I would write a post weekly (back when I used to write two to three times weekly WHO THE HELL WAS I?) titled Three Things. I only ended up writing 11 of those posts back in 2011, and then abruptly stopped. Essentially it was three things I did… Continue reading Three Good Things

No real reason other than I don't… Continue reading So I Guess I’m a “Homeschool Mom” Now
