Penelope's Favorites

What are you doing at the bottom of the page?!!!? There are so many things to click before you get here, and still, you found nothing.

If you are still searching, here are some ideas. I love the homeschooling posts. Here's one of my favorites: The Argument Against Raising Well Rounded Kids.

Another page I love is the story of how I fell in love with the farmer. It reminds me of how crazy I felt at the beginning. Thinking I could ever date a farmer.
