When Jessica posted this link-up, my first thought was what a fun little project it’d be. Five things you didn’t know about me; cool! My second thought was, “Crap. Is there anything they don’t know about me?” I mean, you all know I’m a chronic insomniac. You know that nothing bothers me more than misplaced …

My crazy dreads are 8 months old! Here’s what they’re doing… And I apologize for all the “ums”. There’s a reason I typically write instead of, well, speak.

A couple days ago, I read an article aimed at new homeschoolers that outlined several tips for what the author considered to be successful homeschooling.
