How We’re Starting Our Homeschool For Under $160

TorrieUpdated on August 12, 2020July 27, 2020

Our Decision to Homeschool…For Now

Welp, June was crazy. I didn’t do so well on some of my goals, but that’s to be expected, really—getting a house ready to sell is no walk in the park, especially with three small children underfoot.
