Every Day with God: 365 Daily Devos for Girls {Book Review and GIVEAWAY!}

Homeschooling Without a Schoolroom
We don't have a "schoolroom". You can walk through every room in my home, and you will not see any alphabet posters, 100's charts, or "learning centres". It's quite possible that a complete stranger could take a walk through my home and not even know that we...
