Full Disclosure Friday: 5 more things we learned in HS this week!

I’ve been wandering HS blogs lately, looking for lapbook ideas and inspiration. This morning I happened across one that included a lapbook so intricate and full of information that I’m sure it should have earned someone college credit, despite the fact that it was allegedly created by a child of 6.
I’ve noticed a trend […]
I'm a frazzled AP mom to 4 fabulous kids in rural Minnesota. Homeschooling here tends to be child-led and focused on fun. We do lots of crafts, reading and exploring. I'm madly in love with my brilliant, goofy lug of a husband and I don't get nearly enough sleep.
