Learning to Ride a Bike (without pedaling)
Years ago with our first two children, we did what most parents do. We bought them bicycles with training wheels.

School Pictures

If Homeschool Walls Could Talk: Climbing Out of the Box

I had never met a homeschooling family until the year before we decided to homeschool. All I knew was public school. [...]
