Why I Admire Homeschool Moms

Last week I talked a little bit about the disagreement between moms about which is better: working or staying at home. Likewise, there is also disagreement about whether to homeschool children or send them to either public or private school for their education. It can be a really tough decision choosing between the public and private schools in houston, let alone bringing homeschooling into the mix! There is just so much to think about. Choosing the type of school is just the beginning, as then as a parent you need to pay close attention to the secondary school league tables,…

Reading List Review: October 2015

So I didn't read nearly as much as I did in August, but one of the books I am currently reading is extremely long, so that has been taking up a lot of my time.  For the rest of the year, I am going to attempt to read 3 or 4 more books per month so I can at least get through the books I wanted to read by the end of the year.  The books on deck will be added to the top of my list for next year (which I hope is full of reading!).  I have also been…
