Summer is almost here and you know what that means! Planning season is about to launch into full gear. Time to spread the table with those resources, books, catalogs, and, of course, your homeschool planner! I’ve written about how I didn’t use to be much of a planner girl because I’m just too picky about…
I’m so happy to introduce you to Amber Vanderpol today. I don’t really remember how I met Amber. She and I had internet friends in common and we just sort of started to follow one another and chat from time to time; now we’re FitBit friends. Amber is very involved in the Charlotte Mason (CM)…
Laura wanted to do this homeschool thing just right. She had struggled in the past, but this year was going to be different. Her homeschool planning was going to be perfect.
