“wild + free” field trip day.
when we first arrived back in winston, i was really worried about finding homeschool communities that matched with our lives. there’s a lot of co-ops and groups here, but they aren’t much of a fit. i did learn about a local chapter of the wild + free homeschoolers starting up, and i even went to […]
