One of the things I did when we moved into our condo was to organize my kitchen with the girls in mind. The drawers under the counters in our new kitchen made this easier than the cupboards of our previous kitchen. Since then, I’ve greatly appreciated how creating a kid-friendly kitchen has helped my daughters […]
Baking Days Teach Homeschoolers Math, Reading, and Life Skills
I tend to follow very traditional homeschooling methods, just as my mom did when she was homeschooling me. I rely on pre-planned curriculum with textbooks and workbooks for the girls.
