Read MoreRandom: I saw this cover and instantly was 12 again. In a hyper-color sweatshirt. With bad hair (and flipped up bangs). Sipping a strawberry-kiwi Koala Springs. (P.S. I remember thinking that the girl on the cover with the pink sweatshirt was soooooo cool. I wanted
Read MoreThe beautiful Leigh over at the blog Marvelous Kiddo wrote in her bio that she was raised as an “unschooler.” A what? How had I not heard of this word in my 31 years? I’m familiar with home schooling, of course, because my mom home-schooled my sister, brothers and me for a short time, a fact that I still find amazing.
