Last year, I enrolled Savannah in a preschool program at a local Methodist church. It was only two days a week, and she really enjoyed it. I would totally have done it again this year, but the 4 year old program was quite a bit more expensive. So, my plan is to homeschool Savannah for Pre-K this coming schoolyear. My number one goals are to see if homeschooling fits our family and if I’ll be able to handle the routine…

But here are the pictures from the rescue’s website: This sweet kitty is a medium-haired little girl about 7 months old. She’s a sweetie, laid back…
I’ve written a little bit about blessingways here. About a month ago, I had the honor of throwing a blessingway for a dear friend of mine, Cicely. She is pregnant with her 3rd child, and I wanted a chance to honor her.
