Watching debates of hopeful Virginia politicians while prepping homeschool lessons about Patrick Henry and the Stamp Act. 10/10 recommend.
Normie mom in VA here, no reason for you to notice me amongst all your notifications, but why is it so hard for people like me to get in touch with our representatives? @bethanyshondark @megbasham @mkhammer
@KathyKLTran @JCarrollFoy #JayJones needs to drop out.
There's no human way to connect with my state representatives. I couldn't even leave a message at a professional sounding account for @KathyKLTran. I did leave a message for @JCarrollFoy. @jonesjay needs to drop out of this race. Please, stand up for the mothers of Virginia.
Me hearing about mask mandates returning suddenly feeling amazing about the decision to homeschool. 🤣

For a long time, I've been reflecting on how my Christian faith calls me to treat everyone as clean, even if The Science(tm) recommends the opposite. I gave a sermon last year at my church in February 2022 on this theme (~20 min).
Happy Easter, everyone!

Why am I 4+ years into parenting and just now reading Susan Schaeffer Macaulay's For the Children's Sake?! Convicting, beautiful, nuanced, timely.
If we recognized children and teachers as "born persons" and that they need a steady diet of "living ideas" a la Charlotte Mason - but then also the word "improve" would be called into question.

There once was a certain kind of evangelical Christian I felt free to make fun of. I was pastoring a fast growing church in an urban environment, and a spirit of elitism had infected us. No one would correct me on it because they made fun of them too.

Does the person in a warm car honking at the very pregnant lady loading 3 kids & a stroller in the rainy crowded mall parking lot think that she is *not* going as fast as she can? Now that I’m in the car, perhaps I shall enjoy my impulse buy peppermint bark for a moment…
We were talking about the pros and cons of Charlotte Mason's educational philosophy and couch preferences tonight. Did I miss something newsworthy? 😂🙄
All I can hear from my kids downstairs while I nurse the baby is "doooonnnt yiiiike ituh!" 🤣🤦♀️
I guess 1/3 Arnold children liking their dinner isn't so bad. 🤷♀️😵💫🤣
