An Ode to Married Life
So this post will plant me firmly in the “old fuddy duddy” category. My husband and I just had an anniversary so I’m in reflection mode. I keep thinking about how our love has changed over the years. I think if dating-me saw married-me, she’d be appalled. I put make-up on once a week. I […]

Homeschooling has always been the norm to me. I was homeschooled from the very beginning of my education, WAY before it was cool and popular.
