a.k.a It’s hard to blog about homeschooling when I feel like we aren’t doing any.

Do any of you do anything special to wrap up one year and begin the next? I feel a need for closure on 2015 and a fresh start with a new year right now. Not that 2015 was so bad, just that I feel ready to move on. So I’m revisiting a few typical end of December traditions.
