That sounds like an awesome way to learn. I had so much trouble in school myself because I was very shy and the other kids made me nervous and not able to concentrate on what I was supposed to be learning. Way to go Mom! Learning with your kids make them like it even more, so you can discuss it together.

Lori, that is awful! Libraries are such fun places. My husband and I spent a lot of time at the library when we were first learning this lifestyle. Do you think it has to do with the internet too? More people are using the internet for research, I know I do it myself. Buy used books instead of borrowing them. I used to read magazines a lot, now hardly ever. Things are changing.
My recent post Christmas Time Ideas For Your Home

I wondered where you'd gone to. Glad to know you are back. Let me see, the reason I blog is because for me writing is what I love to do. Also the internet is basically my social life. I'd say also that I am proud of where I've brought my blog and how it has developed since I first started in 2005.

I used to love to go to these types of things too many years back. Looks like a fun time!

I love that post! It reminds me of the song by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, called Dance Little Jean. Coming here from The Redhead Riter's Community. I am in process of registering to vote for your children's playground too. Waiting for the email right now.
