In this day and age, I feel like schools are doing the best they can with the lessons they teach. I spent a lot of time homeschooling my kids and had a fair number of opinions about what should be taught in school, but I was also very much in favor of child-led learning with…

Minimal
I have this idea in my head of what minimalism looks like…and I’m not 100% certain but I think if I believed in minimalism I would have a lot less stuff. If I believed in minimalism, would I have so many books? Would I have a counter full of oranges and a container of cookies…
