Homeschooling as we travel North America, one road at a time.
I haven't done a Five Minute Friday post in quite a while. I haven't been ignoring it, I have enjoyed reading a number of posts but sitting down and putting words on a screen have escaped me in this area lately. This week's word has me thinking though so here I sit in the morning… Continue reading Another Mother’s Influence {Five Minute Friday}

Reading about this and hearing how other folks have chosen their words I find myself realizing how much more sense this makes than… Continue reading My Word of the Year for 2019

Continuing with our "field trip" pictures for Wordless Wednesday this week I'm posting some photos from our visit to Space Center Houston last weekend.

They… Continue reading An Afternoon at Space Center Houston {Wordless Wednesday}
