We all look back and wish we would have made different choices at some point in our lives.

Would You Ever Homeschool?
I came across this article today and it got me thinking more about homeschooling. Homeschooling has been around for centuries and yet it still seems to conjure up a lot of controversy. To be completely honest, I’m one of those moms who has stated more than once, “I will never home school. Unless, for someContinue reading “Would You Ever Homeschool?”
