It has been a difficult few months for my family. Homeschooling, 6 cases of the flu, working from home, and keeping up with a rather heated political battle has left this mama a bit worse for wear. While I can count a few more grey hairs as a result of this mega-dose of “life”, I’m also very thankful for the opportunity to teach. Where textbooks have traditionally failed, I have had the blessing to share real life with my children.Posted 10 weeks 12 hours ago by Linsey Knerl

I miss the olden days. You know, the olden days like 20 years ago. Life seemed different then. You belonged to a community, a neighborhood. The people in your neighborhood were part of your extended family. At some point in the last 20 years, the neighborhood has succumbed to death.Posted 22 weeks 5 days ago by Margaret Garcia-Couoh
