So I may have mentioned (like a million times) that The Boy is working on a pretty cool project. Not just any project…oh,no….a project so big (and cool) that it involves you. Yes, you. Here’s the deal…
Any of you who also read The Boy’s blog, know that he has been doing some interviews. Some gracious […]

So in case you’ve missed it…we homeschool. We have been doing a unit study on the human body, and today it finally happened. We reached the reproductive organs. Cringe. As much as I was dreading this, the kids were all ready to go.
