Why Hello There! After a fun little getaway to Niagara Falls last week I just had to share this. You know you are a teacher/ homeschool mom when you plan a week’s worth of lessons as you are walking around, exploring a new place on vacation. Unfortunately the girls aren’t quite old enough for these lessons, but I truly can’t wait until they are!
