Berries & Beaches ~ A Summer Manifesto
June 16, 2010
Before each summer I take time to think about what I'd like to do with the kids during these oh so brief warmer months. This is the first summer we are homeschooling year round, or at least that I am being more intentional about the kid's learning progress through the ...
