For quite some time our homeschooling days have felt “off” as we’ve struggled daily to find a natural rhythm. I’ve suspected it was the schedule we were keeping, but wasn’t sure what to do about it. And then it happened…we woke up one weekend morning only to realize that a pipe between our kitchen and…
