But how do you do it all?

home schooling kids and babies

If they are capable of building a different and interesting train track, like this, every single day during their lunch hour, perhaps I’m not expecting enough of them work-wise, here at the house. Look at this thing! It goes under the tables, over bridges, through Grand Central Station. It’s a work of art! All those boxes that are still packed up? Perhaps they could help more than I think.

That’s right. You can look for an April explosion from this […]
