August 20, 2013 at 6:25 amCongrats on being a grandma soon! These are some really helpful resources. I really like the Montessori idea and would like to start doing a homeschool preschool following some of these concepts once I start staying at home full time with my kids.
Thanks for linking up with the Tuesday baby link up a few weeks ago. I hope to see you again this week.
