Falter-Filled Days I’ve been having some falter-filled days of late, folks. The other day, it was one thing after another after another following a night of too little [and frequently interrupted] sleep.

I am a hoarder. No, you will not find my home stacked floor-to-ceiling with dusty collections, cats’ eyes peeking from shadowy nooks. My hoarding is not as obvious, not as glaring, and yet I still scramble to save and preserve it all. I am a hoarder of memories and moments. I take mental snapshots and…

I’d like to share a homeschooling reflection with you guys. You know that classic scene from The Wizard of Oz? The one where Dorothy first sets foot in Oz, with Toto in her arms? With awe, she looks around at her new and fantastic surroundings and says, “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas…

Have you guys heard of NaNoWriMo? It stands for National Novel Writing Month, and it is an online challenge to write daily with the goal of 50,000 words by the end of the month. I learned about NaNoWriMo when I first started researching homeschooling because there is a junior version that is quite popular. I…
