I’m a little late in the game, seeing as how it’s Good Friday today, but I figured a late Easter craft is better than no Easter craft. 🙂 I found this Easter wreath on someone else’s blog and I thought it was perfect for my two boys and I to do together. What I like […] Read more…
Here’s my latest homeschooling mountain I must tackle: What in the world do I do with my semi-interested-in-homeschooling 2-year-old while my 4-year-old works on his lesson?

When your child performs a task that involves intricate finger movements, they are probably not only having fun, but also developing truly beneficial skills for the future!
