Why I Chose Early College High School For My Kids

When I was in high school I had never heard of Early College High School. I'm not even certain it was a thing. The main option in our area for education was public school. It seemed that locally the private schools stopped around 6th or 8th grade. You also never heard of anyone homeschooling back in the 90s. I'm sure they did, but it wasn't widely known.

The Waterpark at The Villages is an indoor … [Read more...]

Holy Crap we had a Snow Day in East Texas

I live in East Texas, and am definitely a southern girl and therefore not made for the snow. At all. Picture a hibernating bear. I am very similar to that, when it gets too cold I want to be under the covers and in a warm cocoon and allowed to sleep. But as we all know we don't always get what we want. The word just isn't fair that way. So as a mom I did the next best thing. I took my kids to … [Read more...]
