A homeschooling year recap and what’s ahead for next year – Hf #215

I am wrapping up this current homeschool year and starting to plan and collect resources for next year. So now is a great time to do a little recap of our homeschool curriculum we've used the past 2 years and what we will be using going into next year! I'll also share a little bit about the homeschool philosophy we have fallen in love with, how we do a morning basket time, and more!
