I also loved that quote from OldJoy about her homeschool year. I screenshot it to remind myself what matters. I absolutely agree, homeschool changes a bit each year. How to balance the needs of the various ages is an always tricky equation. My two year old sometimes gets less of my time than I would like. Then a week later, I think I have neglected the 6th grader a bit... I hope your year of a bit more business/structure required, is truly delightful. What a crazy ride home-schooling is!
I loved reading through this, Rachael - the reflections, the lists, all of it. This line had me nodding in agreement, as I am just now getting out of those years ("How everyone slept the night before determined more than seemed fair about the day ahead.") Also, your garden photo is lovely. Thank you for taking the time to share here.

Followed you here from your first web site :) always love to read what’s up and your reflection
You are like a breathe of fresh air even though my kids are grown up and I’m not doing home school!
