Why I Want My Son To Fail His Food Allergy Test
Right off the bat that title just shrieks of bad parenting. Who would want their child to fail any test at all, let alone one that could erase a life threatening food allergy from their child’s life? Well, me in this case..

Is it too Late to Homeschool?
The past few weeks have been as predictably busy as they should be. A new school year means not only the start of a new grade, but also the start of extra curricular activities, adjusting to new teachers and how they “do” things, sometimes doctor’s appointments for annual check-ups and even, in my case, renewing […]
