Easy 25 Days of Christmas Ideas
December is already full of stuff, so it can be easy to cringe when you see a list of 25 things to do, one for each day leading up to Christmas. But I promise this is not that list!

And let me tell you, as a homeschooling … [Read more...]

We do this thing fairly often that a lot of people think is crazy. Why would you do something that's so hard, and with so much potential for disaster? What is that thing, you ask? Coffeeschooling. Coffeeschooling is a term that I made up to combine homeschooling and coffee shop. Basically, we take our schoolwork for the day (or at least some of it), and relocate to a coffee shop.
