It’s that time of the year once again! The start of a new school year! Although we homeschool year-round, we keep some wiggle room for “life” as I like to say, you know, sickness, vacations, “blah” days/weeks… so it all works out great and we don’t feel like we’re behind or needing to “catch up”...
