The big girls and I spent three days and two nights out of town this week as we attended a Classical Conversation’s practicum (me) and geography camp (them) in a neighboring city. We take this trip annually, and we all look forward to the time away from our normal routine — swimming in the hotel pool, staying up late, eating from the buffet in the morning and making new CC friends — but we sure were tired by the end of the day on Wednesday!
Here are some of my favorite posts from this week. As always, check out what I’m reading to see the other posts that make me stop and think. You’ll find new posts all week long!
