We’re so happy there! Finally [...]
Homeschooling: What About Socialization?
Posted by Jeff on April 24th, 2010
If you have ever homeschooled, or been homeschooled this is the most common question you hear!
You’re right! So “What About Socialization”
Isn’t that just a terrible thing! Those who go to brick ‘n mortar schools don’t get to learn proper socialization? They don’t get to learn how to socialize properly with other adults who are moms [...]

Five TV Shows I Can’t Wait to Watch in 2010
Posted by Jeff on January 1st, 2010
1. The Bachelor
If you stop expecting this show to produce real marriages, you can really enjoy it.
It’s almost comical that this will be the 18th season of the Bachelor/Bachelorette, and it has produced only one marriage.
That means the Bachelor is tied with Survivor (Rob & Amber) and The Biggest Loser (Matt & Suzy), and those [...]
