Welp, the Inklings & Yarns Learning Workshop has been officially open for business for…five days. Has it really only been five days?
Guys, this is hard. I’m not going to pretend this isn’t hard. I give SO much credit working parents, single parents, and parents who work in the health industry or other essential services. We don’t have any of those extra challenges and it’s barely been a week, and I am STRUGGLING.

Allie’s (8, second grade) school has set up home-learning, which right now looks like it will involve 1-2 hours of work a day. She is independent and creative, so although she misses her friends and doesn’t understand why she can’t watch YouTube all day, I can at least count on her to be self-sufficient for large portions of the day.

Theo (5, pre-K) is…a different story. Like many 5-year-olds, he is SO energetic and SO social and SO curious and SO stubborn. Being his mom takes a lot of patience on a good day. A week into social isolation and he is losing his poor little mind.

But we’re making lemonade. (And I’m pouring vodka into mine.) As a crafter, my homeschooling curriculum is heavily weighted toward the arts. I’m trying to focus on the opportunities of this unique situation, and one of them is more time to let my kids explore creativity (and make messes).


We’ve done a lot of St. Patrick’s Day themed activities this week, including decorating our windows, and setting a leprechaun trap. We also did some pour-painting (look for an upcoming YouTube tutorial), and have been exploring all kinds of unique learning resources, both online and “analog.” Watch this space for our projects, and our stories–and my venting.

Your enthusiasm for this subject is infectious, I feel motivated to learn more.
all the time i used to read smaller content which also clear their motive, and
that is also happening with this paragraph which I am reading
now.
It’s great to see a unique point of view on this topic.
The very crux of your writing while sounding agreeable initially, did not really settle well with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the paragraphs you actually managed to make me a believer but just for a while. I however have got a problem with your jumps in logic and one would do nicely to fill in those breaks. In the event that you can accomplish that, I could certainly be amazed.
This actually answered my problem, thanks!
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d really appreciate it.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!|
