Hey Mama Monday: Does Spelling Make You Smile, Sing, and Celebrate, Mama?

Does teaching spelling make you smile, sing, and celebrate? Or does it wear you out as you shed a few tears? And just why are wear and tear spelled the same but sound so different?

Homeschooling While Working

Working while homeschooling can be as difficult and as rewarding as you want to make it. Both of them take commitment, dedication, and the ability to compartmentalize time.
