carnivallogo

UPDATE: For several reasons, the Carnival of Relaxed homeschooling has been permanently canceled.

There’s a new carnival coming to town, the Carnival of Relaxed Homeschooling!

  • What your kids think

I had always heard that teenage boys ate a lot but have never experienced it first hand until now. It’s so true! I’m floored by the amount of food they can consume. I’ll ask my grandson, “how can you eat all that?!?” He shrugs his shoulders and with a sheepish grin says, Read the rest of this entry »
