Greetings, all two of my readers! I hope this blog post finds you well and in a stress-free position in advance of the upcoming holidays. I thought that, before my own life gets holiday crazy, I would try to sit down and process our general routines and "stuff we do" - sort of as a means of preparing for next semester and also, as a means of thinking through our plans for school next year, as the application deadlines for the 2020-21 school year are fast approaching and I need to be figuring out what we want to do as a family. No sweat, right? In the Beginning... I guess I should talk again, briefly, about how we got to this place. In a nutshell, we decided to take this year away from traditional school, initially because I began to develop strong feelings that kids don’t have a lot of time and freedom to just be kids these days. Just to go outside and play, or be bored, or come up with experiments or create stuff just to feel the awesome good...
