I am in the midst of creating a Homeschool Co-op (ok more like re-creating and re-locating after a year break). First Presbyterian has happily stepped up and provided us a space and resources. They went even a step further and we discussed homeschooling on the local christian tv station yesterday. You can watch it here:
My week has been full of joyful moments: Homeschooling fun, work, planning VBS and Writing Camps, while still steadily unpacking our cardboard treasure boxes.
How have you been finding joy this week? Link up with us and let us know.
Throughout the summer I have two new series: Military Staycations and My Favorite Home School Resources. My weekly giveaways and book reviews will continue as well as the monthly installment to Women of the Bible.
