Yes, I’m homeschooled… and I’m proud of it! Here is my T-shirt I bought quite a while ago from the Homeschool Boutique! I love it!
I definitely plan on wearing it when I’m out and about during the school year…it saves on explaining everything to those who ask, “why aren’t you in school?” ;)
If you’re homeschooled, and haven’t yet visited their [...]

Sewing is a great skill to know, and I’ve been really wanting to get into it more, and learn how to make some skirts. So, my grandma came over a couple days ago and we spent some of the morning working on making a wrap skirt for me!

It was really fun. We were able to get [...]
