We made a goal this year to read more books to our children. I am happy to announce that we have been keeping our goal. Both of our children love books and that makes my husband and I very happy. We brought my Princess books for Homeschool Kindergarten Reading Class and she is doing really well. I love seeing her read the words and sound out words that are difficult. Reading is so great! It opens a whole new world for kids {and adults!}. Since we've been in Baton Rouge, we joined the … [Read more...]

Summer School With School Zone
We are trying to stay on top of homeschool even though it is summer time. Our Princess just does better when she has structured things to occupy her time.
