Opinion

With August here, (seriously, how fast did July go?!?) I have begun to buckle down and work on planning out our school year, and I think I figured out what I am going to do. Now, of course, I have no idea how long we will keep up with it as if things don’t work, then I will change it again, but here is the idea so far.

We just had a super fun week, and as I have nothing else to talk about, I will tell you all about it. Lucky you.

It’s fair week and I’ve been tasked with doing intake for the veggie portion of the open class exhibits! So I thought I’d dig into to some of the origins of county fairs and how they work. Fairs have existed in some form or another since 500BC and possibly before.

I am at the end of my creative rope here and being I worked at The Shed all weekend, I am going to tell you my top peeves from my way too many years working in the service industry.

I had an epiphany. Actually, a friend said it out loud and I am going with it! What can I say? She’s smart!

My thoughts on the upcoming homeschool year are up in the air again. Good thing I haven’t ordered any curriculum yet, as my plans seem to keep changing on me. I have been listening to The Life Without School podcast, and it has been very interesting and has opened my eyes a bit wider when it comes to what my homeschool could look like.

July is National Make a Difference to Children Month, Child-Centered Divorce Month, as well as Purposeful Parenting Month. WRAP wants to focus this month’s article on children and parenting.

We’ve had a few cool days (which were wonderful) but we’re back in an upswing of warm weather, and on top of that, there’s not much rain in sight. So I wanted to talk about summer gardening.
