C'est Fini

I have started using an online homeschooling scheduling/tracking/planning program that I really LOVE. It's called Scholaric. It's fantastic. I am really loving how it works. So much so, that I am going to stop blogging our school here. It's become redundant and time consuming to retype everything here. I will continue blogging about our school - the highlights - over at my regular blog - The Berry Patch.
