Folks! When I tell you it has been crazy around here I DO.NOT.LIE. Oh so sorry that the blog has been quiet, but we have thrived through our first week of school (if only the entire year could go so well!), I helped launch a new website and even got to write a post, and we are t-minus four days and counting until our first co-op of the year. Last year we had eight families — this year we have 12!!
Oh, and did I mention we are throwing a small homeschool conference this Saturday? A little something we decided to whip up at the last minute.
So I hope you will excuse me, but I do intend to be back next week with some fun back-to-homeschool posts, more learn to write number printables (let’s finish those things up, why don’t we?) and more info about how I ended up planning our homeschool year.
