I’m a teacher at an amazing school that is called a University Model School. It’s the best of both worlds for more than one reason. It is Christian based and we are allowed to teach these children educational information and teach from the bible. It is also based on the parents being co-teachers. What that means is the second reason it’s so great. Our kids are in school Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Tuesday, Thursday home schooled by the co-teaching parent. ...

I’m still working on Furniture for my daughters new home. Yep pretty sure I’m gonna miss the deadline of having it all done. I’ve been very careful not to rush and do a sloppy job so a bit more time is okay. This table set has taken the most time to complete. In last weeks blog I showed you how we took the chairs and made side benches. She wanted captains chairs to be very different from the benches so...
