Adapting Education

I am updating everyone to announce a website I’m opening up that I’ve kept for some time now to myself as I was building it.  I never thought of publishing our educational progress but the more I’ve used it the more I realize it might be interesting to others too.  So I’ll be posting a […]

A little bit of everything

We have been very busy lately and my lack of posting shows how exhausted I am by nightfall! Lol! I’ll start this post by posting some pictures and describing what is in them then I’ll go through my ledger and try to pick out some activities from there. A few pics may have been on […]
