Ever since we bought the house I’ve wanted some bookcases with glass doors. We finally got around to making that happen. I love them 😍

Finished reading: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson 📚
I like this one so much more than his last book. We listened to it as a family on a road trip and everyone was laughing.

Finished reading: The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan 📚
A very thought provoking read. I enjoyed it and I definitely going to try to get my kids to read it when they’re a bit older.

My daughter drew a fantastic little comic and gave me permission to share 😍 But I wasn’t able to snag a picture before the inevitable water spill 😂

I’m watching Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets on Prime. As a homeschooling mother, I recommend it. I have to be extremely careful selecting materials, because these IBLP/fundamentalist teachings are pervasive in the homeschooling community and materials. There is real harm being perpetrated with these ideologies and it is tragic. It’s a hard show to watch. For my homeschooling friends, please look closely at the materials you use and the companies that put them out. Please think critically about the youtubers and bloggers who tell you it’s “easy” and that “kids don’t need much” in the way of schooling. Being a homeschooling parent means that the education of your children is your responsibility. The buck stops with you. Homeschooling can be amazing and wonderful. But not if it’s rooted in deceit, denial, and fear.
