Jaime, I started following you on Steady Mom and have been enjoying your work on this website since it started. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for connecting me with other incredible writers! I also appreciate the week-end links for seeing a bit of what else is out there. Repurposing the Duplo bricks is an ingenious idea! Knowing what a mainstream magazine has to say about Creativity research gives me more confidence about the non-traditional choices I’m making with my kids’ learning. Homeschooling is Not Optional is a great approach for finding common ground with other parents. And of course, the other Simple sites are amazing too. I love the ideas for keeping language arts skills fresh. Thanks!
Oops, I was writing my comment while my son was talking to me and I misspelled your name Jamie! Please forgive me! That’s why I tend to be a reader and not a writer
