Website problems are no fun
To everyone who has tried to access my site over the past few weeks and has failed, I'm sorry.
I've been having the most difficult time getting everything up and running again ever since mid-January when I accidentally deleted everything while trying to switch to a cheaper hosting plan.
Terrible, terrible mistake.

We are excited to announce that we are expecting our third child this September. There will be a three year and three month age gap between my second-born and my third-born, which I hope will be a good spacing.
I am very much looking forward to sharing many new printables and curriculum plans for this little one that I have been quietly working on over the past few months.

Ever since Damien was a newborn, part of his home swim lessons has been hanging on the edge of the pool, and once he learned how to crawl, he has been practicing climbing out of the pool from the edge, with my help.
I have always given him as little help as possible so that he could learn to do it by himself one day.

This summer I have been mulling over our plans for the future, realizing that I am going to have to alter my original intentions when I began this homeschooling journey.
See, from the time I first decided I wanted to homeschool my oldest child, I always said that I did not want to homeschool him all the way through high school.

My mind, of course, couldn't stop wondering what educational purpose I could use them for (it's a curse).
