Today, a post to one of the homeschooling lists I’m on included a link to Connections: ezine of unschooling and mindful parenting. I haven’t read all of it, but there’s definitely lots of good stuff there. Highly recommended!
Hello, World!
Finally! It’s only taken us about 4 months from the decision to use a blog to keep up with what we’re doing in our homeschool endeavors in a public way (for benefit of the relatives) to actually get the site…
A Day in the Van
