After deep considerations (Not really. It was more of a spur of the moment thing. But I don’t regret opening my big mouth, so all’s good.) I invited my sister to contribute to my blog. She’s not me. Not. Even. Close. Really, not even close. I’m told we sound alike, but we don’t look so […]
TOS Review: Let’s Make a Web Page
Liberty (age 9) and I got to use Let’s Make a Web Page from Motherboard Books for the Old Schoolhouse Magazine Review Crew. I received the PDF download and Liberty and I worked through it together on the computer. Let’s Make a Web Page states that children under age 10 will need an adult alongside, […]

I don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.
I’m a big fan of language. Proper English and spelling are requirements in my home school. Last week Liberty’s English had her studying possessive nouns and pronouns and I drove a point home. “Possessive pronouns never have apostrophes. Never. Ever. Ever.
