And now to some serious stuff...I have seen a lot of homeschooling pages, websites, parents, etc post this quote (below) or something similar to it. As much as it is true and I agree with it, I personally think that it is rude and insulting.

Judging parents for sending their children to public (or private) school is the same as judging parents for feeding their kids ... View the Post
Quick, easy and healthy lunch ideas for homeschoolers (or anyone)
I was asking around with friends and homeschooling websites about what they do for lunch on homeschooling day. I was obviously looking for something healthy, easy, delicious, kid-friendly and quick.

Inspiration...Montessori Science: AstronomyToday, we watched how NASA was testing some of their equipment on the military post we live in! It was pretty nice to watch and know that they were that close to us!
