Basic, Never Boring
I’d been homeschooling for what felt like two seconds when we had our first, “What do we do now?” moment. My boys were four and six, and I had plenty of tasks I wanted them to do, but they didn’t have the desire to do any of them. So, I asked them to bring their…
We’ve all been there. Before we had kids, we all had a running list in our minds of things we said we would never do as parents. We would see the family out at a restaurant with all their kids on their own tablet so the parents could have a peaceful conversation, or pictures of…
