I’m such a nerd. Both of Leigh Bortins’ books (The Core and The Question) and a set of CC Timeline cards made up the majority of my Christmas loot. Remember this timeline project? I had good intentions and was able to keep it up for the majority of last school year and the beginning of this […]
I spent an inane amount of time trying to wrap my head around the best way to plan and schedule myself and the kids. I wanted something visual that fit a timetable but also allowed me to plan something different for each child if necessary. Originally, I thought I wanted a week view, but then I […]
