Sweet Sara Crewe has everything a little girl could want – a loving family, lots of friends, and a closet full of frilly dresses! But when life takes a turn and Sara goes from riches to rags, will she realize that her true worth lies not in what she has, but...
Yesterday was our first day of school and the first words out of Big J’s mouth as he came down the stairs were: “Can we have chocolate chip scones?! It IS the first day of school!” I guess I began a tradition when I made these scones for the first...
Today is our “official” first day of the school year! We had a wonderful time doing the Olympics 2012 unit study the last four weeks, but today we dig in to our curriculum for the year. Both boys have made it very clear they cannot WAIT to start math!...
