A Name for Our Homeschool
We finally decided on a name for our homeschool! In North Carolina, we don’t officially have to name our school until we register our homeschool with the state and we have two more years before we are required to register. I wanted to decide on a name now so it feels more official for Jonathan…
Educating the Wholehearted Child Discussion Group
As I was reading through the first chapter of Educating the Wholehearted Child this afternoon, an idea struck me.

I’d love to hear what…
A little much needed mommy time

Photo Challenge: /Tilt/
I was going to skip the photo challenge this week. I just didn’t know what to do with “tilt.” But then I saw Jonathan on the floor reading this afternoon and inspiration struck. I ran for my camera and captured this: He’s reading “The Gingerbread Boy” out of one of his readers. …
