Big News, everyone!
I've decided that I've got it all wrong. After lots of soul searching, I've decided that it's time to send my kids to school. All this focus on child-led learning and family-time first is really cutting into my shopping and spa routine. I've finally got it all figured out: I'm sending them all to boarding school on the East Coast so that I can devote more time to my........
April Fool's.....just kidding. Actually the real big news is that I have a new post up at the Life Without School Community Blog. It's called Taking off the Training Wheels. Hope you like it. Check it out.

No Problem. Glad you were able to stop on by.
At first I was like "What is it with people?

If they're new, I get it, but to live it, then think school is Best...

Since I'm new here, I can be forgiven, right?
