home school style (the evolution of a space)
This weekend at a birthday party, we were able to see some of our favorite school friends that we haven’t been able to spend time with since we pulled the kids out this fall. We were standing at the edge of the pond at a park, enjoying the serenely beautiful Sunday when Emerson spotted some…
a day in the life of home school + the Sonlight curriculum
