I don’t have a schoolroom. Most of the time I don’t really want one. I like for our school to be just another part of our home. Right now my children do their seatwork in the dining room and the adjoining kitchen. The only reason that I am somewhat envious of those who have schoolrooms …
I am typing this blog entry from my very own laptop! My very sweet, thoughtful, generous, funny,and handsome husband (just in case he reads this) gave me a laptop for our 16th wedding anniversary! I am still amazed. Right now my laptop and I are in the honeymoon phase. (Don’t you think that is a …
