Molly Huggins — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 06:00:28 +0000

If I am being honest, I didn’t want to write this today. In the face of a new year, I have been praying for weeks now for a theme to carve out for the next 365 days. Instead, all I could think about is how...

We went on a family retreat this weekend – hence the lateness of my post. We rushed back into town today, swung by the house, picked up some presents, ran frantically through Giant grabbing Lego batman toys, a premade cake, candles and a pack of...

I think I saw the red and pink hearts in Target somewhere around January 3rd. I think I actually bought the kiddos their class valentines somewhere around January 7. (Planning ahead for the win!). I used to hate Valentine’s Day, and I still think it...

Introducing your children to the world without leaving the country

Amy Larson — Mon, 22 Aug 2016 06:00:11 +0000

Over the last year I purchased a rather large world map. When I was trying to decide the best place to put it for homeschooling, the wall by our kitchen table seemed best. In my mind this place was not visually ideal, but the location has been...
