Between the daily two hours in the car running my youngest son back and forth to his tutoring program, volleyball practice, gymnastics class, bowling league, music lessons, speech therapy, Bible studies, leading our newest connected parenting class, speaking...
I can’t believe the new homeschooling year has officially begun! Dumpling started back on Tuesday, and the rest of us start co-op on Friday. I always love summer break, but I crave the schedules and routines and cooler weather that each new homeschool year brings. I’ve been enjoying the cooler mornings we’ve been blessed with...
