Several posts back I mentioned that our school time each day was a challenge because Anwen needed more to do. A fellow homeschooler recommended putting together some preschool bags for her to use during school time.

Homeschooling
For a long time Brian and I have been mulling over the question of whether or not to homeschool our children or to send them to public school. For some this question may have a easy answer but that was not the case for us. It has literally been years that we have been in [...]
