Homeschooling
My husband just wrote a post on how awesome homeschooling is. That is really funny considering the day I have had today. For the record, I do agree, at least most of the time, that homeschooling is awesome. I’m glad to be able to teach my children our values, and have a relationship with them….

We have been planning this for 2 weeks, and we did it today. We sold a bunch of stuff in our attic that we don’t use anymore at a garage sale. We did pretty well, considering we had some furniture. We made about $400 when it was all through. It was a little irritating though,…
