I spent all of February diving into Julie Bogart's new book Brave Learner. I usually don't spend an entire month reading one book, but I wanted to let all the homeschool goodness soak in. We're about to celebrate one year of homeschooling and the truth is I'm still trying to figure out what works best for us. I am still scared I'm going to mess up Jackson's education. This book renewed my hope. It sparked a fire deep within me to create a learning environment where Jackson Continue Reading
The Power Of A Pen Pal
When I was five-years-old I met a little girl in Durango, Colorado while on family vacation. Her family was camped next to mine and we spent an entire day playing in the fresh mountain air.

The Books I Shelved {February 2019}
I did not have a very successful reading month. I guess two books is better than none, but I'm a little bummed I didn't finish more. My to-read pile continues to grow, but unfortunately I can't add hours to the day. *sigh* My reading list looks a little blah, unless you include all the books I read to Jackson, which makes it look much more impressive. I lost count of how many Henry & Mudge books we read together. It's the cutest series about a boy and his dog and it's currently Jackson's Continue Reading
