I found your blog by following the link from the comment you made at Kylie's Our Worldwide Classroom blog. Definitely commenting on others blogs is a great way to have others find you. It took me a while to get some followers, but it is starting to pick up decently. I like to know that people are getting something out of what I post.
ReplyDeleteMy older children (who went to public school) were in scouts, but have been out of it for a while) I was the Daisy leader for a several years. Was fun, but started to get too stressful. When my little ones (the ones that I blog about mostly, and are the ones being homeschooled) are old enough I plan on getting back into the scouting.
