I want to begin with stating that I firmly believe in and respect the educational product Classical Conversations offers to homeschooling families. We have learned so much during our three years with CC and we have very much enjoyed our community days. The memory work is strong material that has helped us grow into true...
If you don’t have a selfie stick, I’m going to make the argument that you should spend the $5 to gift yourself one. Especially if your family is too large to fit in an arm’s length iPhone selfie like ours. And also if you are a mom, therefore making it highly likely you aren’t in...
