As the start of the school year approached, I took some time to reflect on how last year went. It was our first year of homeschooling our first son in Kindergarten.

6 Ways to Prioritize Reading into your Busy Day
We just got back from a family camping trip and it was just what we needed. Our family loves camping. It’s something our boys look forward to every summer.

Learning Alongside One Another
We started our first week of homeschool last week. It went better than I expected. I had been praying about our homeschool year all summer. I was using this week as our tester week to see what may need to change, but all in all, I can’t complain with how the first week went. We… Continue reading Learning Alongside One Another

One thing I’ve been wanting… Continue reading Humble and Faithful Servant
