creating homes: recording keeping and home education, part one
Well, how does this play into creating the kinds of homes we want to raise our families in? In my opinion - HUGE. Chaos undermines kindness. Order is a form of beauty, and order in our brains, and reducing brain clutter makes us more available to the people that we love. Because I have a scrambly sort of brain, I had to find ways to record what we do and how we educate that was simple and sustainable. This is part one, part two will deal more with high school and creating a transcript.
