Although I never ended up teaching in a classroom, I studied secondary education in college (along with English Literature). My college education has been a good foundation for launching into my own studies of homeschool. For years I’ve pored over seasoned homeschool mama blogs and books, perused resources, and reflected on pedagogy. I’ve read many … Continue reading Thoughts on Unschooling

Next stop, Alexandria Bay.
Josh's brother Michael and his lovely bride, Rachel, entered into marriage in upstate NY - Alexandria Bay.

A blessed Lent to you all!
Let begins tomorrow! Are you ready? Below are 6 common questions Catholics (and non-Catholics) ask about Lent.

For a few months we could sleep in (I don't have class until at least 10), Josh would play basketball everyday and we … Continue reading Lifestyle Changes and Other Things
Can’t Get in Contact With Her? Call the Senator or The Lake Home
August 20, 2011 Today I went the Grand Forks Famer’s Market with Kristi and Rachel. You could say that it was a blind-friendship date. Father Lefor, from UND’s Newman Center, passed on our information to Kristi and Jake, a young couple involved in FOCUS ministry. Kristi gave me a call yesterday and invited me to … Continue reading Can’t Get in Contact With Her? Call the Senator or The Lake Home
