No matter where each of us is on our homeschool journey, something we all have in common is that there are times in our lives that are just hard. Like, flat-out, no getting out of it, seriously difficult. The difficulty can come for a variety of reasons…happy, sad, or indifferent.
We’re back at it! Isn’t it great to start a new week with a fresh slate? We wake up on Monday morning, energized and ready to go…sometimes. And then there are those other Mondays when no one wants to wake up, last week’s work didn’t *quite* get finished, everything seems
