Last week’s Podcast Addicted featured Read-Aloud Revival and building a family culture of books. One of Sarah’s guests this season was Anne Bogel, of Modern Mrs. Darcy fame. On that episode, Anne and Sarah talked about making time to be a reader even as a busy parent. The book slinging was fantastic. On her blog,…
I had such an amazing time at the Cincinnati Great Homeschool Convention last weekend. The first great thing, of course, were the people. I saw a lot of old friends – including the friend who introduced me to the idea of homeschooling yet didn’t know I blogged. I saw people from home; people I’ve met…
