I haven’t set up our full classroom since we’ve moved into the new house, but I have pulled out a few works to keep William occupied while G does her math and reading each day. Our magnet set is one of them, and both kids find it fascinating and love to experiment with it. Here … Read more
This past week, we went on vacation with our extended family on the Pressprich side. My in-laws graciously hosted 19 of us in total, and we spent a week on Mackinac Island.

It was a wonderfully, relaxing experience, and one that I hope we repeat in the coming years. As one does on a beach vacation, we collected … Read more
