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 […]

Work in July

A well overdue post

Seems as though this virus we are all experiencing has slowed down the process of my documenting the activity I have been doing with the girls.  It has not been as structured as our usual routine as we have had to change things around a bit in other areas of our lives.  But we are […]
