As usual, things are busy in the World of Weeks. The girls both had orthodontist visits. Naomi got a mold taken of her mouth so they can make her an expander. She just doesn’t have enough room for her teeth to come in. Hopefully this will prevent the need for braces, although it’s more likelyContinue reading “Kids”

New Year, New Curriculum
Every once in awhile, I feel it is necessary to try some new curriculum. Since we’re in the new year, I figured there is no time like the present. Honestly, the curriculum isn’t new to us.
