Goodbye August!
Hello readers!
It's been a good minute!
That latest Blogger update has thrown my blogging schedule way off course.
What used to take me a few minutes to type up with links and pictures now takes literal hours.
I've been so disheartened and haven't had the extra time to catch up here while also pouring so much of my time and energy into beginning our home education program, which has been going well.
I'm currently trying to work around using this as my main review space in case these issues do not change.
I'd love to know if you've had issues with Blogger lately and if you were able to fix it or not!
I'm sticking to text at the moment, in hopes that this post won't take hours to publish, but I may return to add pictures and links later when I have extra time.
