We survived the move. There were moments when I wasn’t sure we would–at least not with our sanity entirely intact–but we survived. Of course, we were terrified we were going to end up on the local news because our chicken coop door flew open while driving on the freeway (with the chickens inside of the …
In case you missed it, we recently made the decision to homeschool our oldest, who is entering kindergarten this year.
