Reading Weather Has Arrived
We had a dusting of snow today in Middle Tennessee. The children are out trying to catch snowflakes on their tongue. I'm cuddled under blankets by the fire, shivering and struggling to stay warm.

Curriculum Bookshelf and Schedule (2019 – 2020)
I am so behind planning our school year. I spent the spring helping another homeschooling mother try to form a new community and the summertime running sewing camps. So I've spent August scrambling to get my ducks in a row. Last year, I had everything ready by mid July. Oh well.
