Day One of Homeschool

Date-Walnut Muffins
When you start out the day with a vista like this, cold, gray, and a layer of fresh snow on frozen ground, but not enough to be a glistening white blanket of winter wonderland… that’s when you need something special.

Kids Review: Fever and Gilly Hopkins
So today my kids gave me some super short and fun book reviews. I’ve written them down almost verbatim for your enjoyment. We often talk about what they are reading, and why they enjoy it, or what they learned. I reminded the Jr. Mad Scientist that she has seen the graves of Yellow Fever victims…
