Along with several things we feel you should know before taking a family…

Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Review
February 11, 2020
I had the opportunity to take the girls to preview the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. I was a Sega lover as a kid, and I was so excited to see how they brought one of my favorite video games to life. Could this work? A video game with really loyal fans would be a hard adaptation. Also, could they make this fun for the generation who didn’t recognize Sonic as an iconic character? Here is the Sonic the Hedgehog movie…

Our Homeschool Room Tour
January 9, 2020
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that this room tour has been something I have been working on for over a year.

I tweaked things, returned items that didn’t work, and changed the setup a…
